Meet Brandon Barnes. At 47 years old, Brandon is a proud member of the Upper Mohawk nation and a father to two teenage girls. Like any parent, his primary goal has always been to provide a stable, meaningful life for his daughters. But as many know, having the drive to work and finding the right path are two very different things.
Meet Lisa Green. A mother of three and a proud member of the Mohawk Nation, Turtle Clan. While she spent years managing the finances for local organizations like OSTTC and Kayanase, she felt a calling toward a different kind of balance—one that would allow her to facilitate deep, holistic healing for her people.
For Destiny Vanevery, the spark of inspiration didn't come from a textbook—it came from the heat of a welding torch. At 23 years old, Destiny is a proud member of the Turtle Clan, Mohawk Nation, and a dedicated mother to her four-year-old daughter.
