Have worked in casting since the early 90's with The Broken Chain. Love it - specialize in Native Casting... Also worked on Pocahantas (doc), The Chamber, Richie Rich, Cobb, a production that focused on Natives today in Virginia (Culture and Pride:
I am a very proud member of the Haliwa-Saponi tribe, but just moved from RobCo - home of the Lumbee Indians and Tuscarora Nations. I am the Editor of the Country Courier, but used to work at UNCP - I love to pow-wow and have travelled all over celebrating my heritage - I used to sing with Kau-ta-noh, Jrs. and was the manager of Stoney Creek for a good while. I am a staff writer for Tanasi Journal (which seems to be on an extended hiatus) and for Native Visions, a local based Native American magazine - I am also Senior Moderator for www.Powwows.com/gathering (Smokin' Ace) and record my pow-wow calendar podcast each month - always trying to feature new artist. Had a ball working on a new cookbook (my 3rd) - already sold 100 in the first week - it the 5th one I have contributed to - 1st one I produced from cover to cover.... it rocks!! I worked with some other magnificant people with the UNCP Staff Council... we did this as a fund raiser for our scholarship fund!!
Most recently I am working more on my film making career. I worked with my Creek bro Bruce Berryhill to produce Culture and Pride, which just got nominated for an Emmy!!! My documentary I am filming this weekend is based on the Art of Storytelling, and the 2nd one is recording the making of a pine needle basketry throughout rural NC. I am also working now on 2 childrens books (beginning a series of 6) and on a Autobiography. I can't make this up, ya'll. And I never ever thought I would say this, but I am dating my best friend. Frankie and me are having a ball...he's cool - he makes me smile and giggle and ya'll will love him - he's really good to me. He is a good dad figure for Johnathan, and Rachel likes him, too. I am just enjoying time here. I attend Indian View church, and just am happy. Life is good and I feel blessed.
I feel truly blessed to have known love and to know how to love - some never learn how to!!! My Princess Rachel is a sophomore at UNC Chapel Hill, and she is bad to the bone, son...and Master Johnathan is 9 and grown, son. He is quick to tell you that is master of the house - he is digging his new school - he's involved in Soccer and Basketball and is having a ball in VA.
My children are the true heros in my life...
Here are Rachel's senior pictures - she is all grown up...

I beleive in love - I encourage anyone to seek what your joys are and cherish them - so many times we walk thru life and wonder how did we get there? Savor each moment - make your memories count - the seventh generation needs to know that it can be done. And as always - pray without ceasing... never give up - God is good - ALL The TIME and he will provide - why worry??? Be blessed and thanks for reading - you rock!
Some drum groups blasting from last year's Lumbee pow-wow...Kau=ta-noh, Jrs., Stoney Creek, Black Bear and Red Earth....Enjoy.

Who I'd like to meet: New folks - I love meeting new people from all walks of life - none of us are alike (thank God!) - we are all made up of diff things - each one of us has a diff "dance" - find your dance and don't let anyone change your music!!! Be real and it will show!!! Be "fake" and that will also be shown - keep walking if that is you - there is no reason whatsoever to cheat me - I am just one person - but you are the one who YOU have to answer for - let your truth shine through - that is what you will be remembered for...
You know it's funny - you pray for so many things to happen and they don't and you wonder why does God not answer our prayers? He answers them in HIS time - and it always works out for the best. I don't stress so much anymore - I take comfort in knowing that God is in charge and His is steering my boat down His path - I am just being obedient and following his lead - He's the one man that never ever let me down - God is awesome.

I sat outside for 40 min. today since it was so sunny and was 83. I
didn't get in the pool--too cold at 72. I'll wait until the water gets
close to 80. Jim finished power washing around the pool to wash away
the dirt collected from the cover being on all winter. When Brian was
home, Jim and Todd got in the pool--water was 70!! Brian and I just sat
and watched them inch their way into the pool.LOL. We had a really nice
visit with Brian. Hopefully he'll be back in September sometime. I hope
you are having a nice day.
