“I love to model, it has become a fun hobby, but truthfully its more than that; when your given an opportunity to show the world that your more than just a girl from the reservation you take it! because you never know when that opportunity will come again, and you just let life pass you by...I’m thankful for RisingOuttaDarkness Media for allowing me this opportunity to showcase my passion for modeling; for presenting an elite style of workmanship in the Art of Media Arts; For bringing a sense of Vogue ‘SoToSay,’ Even if our pictures are only seen by one individual or a million and that/those individuals are touched by the photos good or bad. I know I have done something worth while even if that time has been for myself--Growing, Learning, Discovering...Modeling professionally to me is a(n) Art; its my Art; I find the joy in of it all...it gives me hope, it gives my family and friends a sense of inspired hope! that they too can still achieve anything that they go after with hard work! We are more than what the history books; the world says about us Indigenous Peoples; We Are Not A Conquered People; We Are More Than Conquerors Through Christ! and that's for everyone...”

-CLAM #RisingOuttaDarkness Since. 2001′

“Rising Outta Darkness (R.O.D) is a movement founded 2013, by Rodrique Russell. It is about individuals taking control of their lives; regardless,of life’s obstacles and to keep moving forward. It is about individuals who value and know their self worth inside and out. It is about individuals living in the moment, but not staying there. It is about individuals overcoming and conquering their fears every day. It is about individuals who hold on tight to their dreams, aspirations, goals, and who aspire others to Rise Outta Darkness with positivity, growth, second chances, and LOVE.
