Sinceree Dixon uncovers the stories of her ancestry and learns to define herself.
Sinceree opens her talk by telling us about her mother and father, who are from Ojibwe & Menominee and Black descent respectively. But like all our stories, Sinceree’s begins well before her and her parents: her story begins generations ago. This month’s event was generously filmed by Create & Capture. We invite you to cozy up and watch Sinceree’s talk, Native in Layers. You’ll leave feeling inspired to learn more about the stories that make up America and of your own lineage. And then, just like Sinceree, you’ll stop letting the world define you and define yourself instead.
