Native Teen Talks: Losing His Mom to Drugs, Homelessness, and Hopes to Leave the Hood

Friends, I just published a powerful video I hope can be seen by many--particularly those who need to hear his message.

Last week, Tate' opened up to me about his life. He wanted to share about his grief since losing his mom to drugs, his family challenges, and his hope to leave Minneapolis for a better life.

His plan? Graduate culinary school and work at a restaurant. My hope? That other young people currently in difficult situations can watch this and be inspired by this courageous, mature young man.

This is a continuation of my coverage of homelessness and Native American issues in the Twin Cities. Currently, my documentary "The Wall", about 2018's large homeless camp, is available for screenings and being submitted to film fests. Later this year, it will air on this channel. For now, I have several interviews from that camp here in The Periphery YouTube.

We'll continue growing awareness and hope to inspire action to help alleviate these concerns. Contact me at [email protected] about screening "The Wall" or anything else related.
