Traveling the Braided Stream of Healing
About Oliviah:
Oliviah Franke (they/them) was born and raised in Portland Oregon, on lands that have been stewarded and home to Cascade, Clackamas, and Multnomah Bands of the Chinook Tribe. They have called Dena'ina Ełnena home since 2018 and are honored to have been cultivating a caring and driven community since then. Oliviah is a biracial Cáhita person, their ancestors are from the Río Mayo in Sonora and Río Fuerte in Sinaloa Mexico. They are dedicated to reconnecting to their heritage after separation through foster care and adoption. They have spent time studying and working in environmental science, outdoor education, place based service learning, social justice, and racial equity advocacy. They love asking questions and digging into complexity- but most importantly are driven by creating more just and beautiful spaces for all people. They spend their free time beading, cycling, organizing BIPOC cycling spaces through BSpoke, and tending to their garden.
