Episode 4: Supporting Women Running Community and ENTIRE Indigenous Community with Verna Volker
In this Episode, we deliver an Episode Guest that has been requested since Day 1; Verna Volker of Native Women Running, whom is also a Global Ambassador for Hoka One One. I respectfully as about the word "Hozho", and we learn about her heavy schedule and how she manages her day-to-day life as the leading venue supporting Indigenous Women in the Running Community. Through Verna's social innovations and my discussion, it's evident that she leads from the front and by example. She effectively manages her family, all of her social media accounts, sponsorships, meetings and other tasks, and STILL finds time to train towards her first 100k Ultra! Listen as Verna expresses her deep concern, love and respect for our Indigenous Peoples and how she uses running to bring awareness to current issues within Indian Country. Enjoy!
