YoNasDa Lonewolf also known as #QueenYoNasDa is an activist, hip hop artist & curator of #African and #Lakota heritage. YoNasDa (pronounced Yo-Naja-Ha) means “Precious Jewel”, & shes an enrolled member of the #OglalaLakota Nation. “No Nation Can Rise Higher Than Its Woman,” is a saying that breathes truth for her as she epitomizes this energy. Shes committed to continuing the work of her mother Wauneta Lone Wolf-Cox (1951 – 2003). “Its an honor to have two rich heritages running through my veins, but it was hard as well. Because I am brown skinned (not looking like the stereotypical #mixedperson) I was constantly in defense of #NativeAmericans in school, when the children didn’t think I was #NativeAmerican, and they would poke fun of us during #Thanksgiving by calling us “red skins,” “Indian givers,” and making “hey ya ya” sounds. The same way I felt as a child by standing up for who I am, I still am today” Yonasda’s mother was an Oglala Lakota social activist, youth counsellor & motivational speaker who also was part of the #AmericanIndianMovement (AIM). She worked with #MuhammadAli, the Nation of Islam as well as with the Honorable Minister #LouisFarrakhan (who is also YoNasDa’s grandfather) to bring closer relations between Black American and Native American Indian communities. Her father was the fine artist Theadius McCall, a Black American from Brooklyn, NY. As a kid YoNasDa stood by her mother’s and grandfather’s side speaking to the hip hop nation. She feels strongly about her responsibility to use her music as a mouth piece to educate and uplift young people. “Growing up, as a single mother, my mom did her best to raise my brother and I to make sure we knew our Native and African American history. Just imagine, at the age of 10 learning the story of the #TrailofTears and the #TransAtlanticSlaveTrade at the same time, and people thought seeing Roots was horrific. I had double punches of battery of the struggles of my people” Shes the estranged wife of Wu Tang Clan’s Cappadonna and mother of two. Shes in the process of completing her memoir. 🏴🇺🇸✊🏿#NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #mixedgirl #WCW https://www.instagram.com/p/CIBWdlIFPJw/?igshid=1re06rigi2fb3

love this testimony about being mixed by #queenyonasda! #Repost @queenyonasda (@get_repost) ・・・ Growing up and being Native American and Black and being raised by my Native mother, at times when I would see my mother and my aunts get ready with their long hair and beautiful jewelry and regalia I would ask my mother "Mommie how come my skin isn't the same as yours? Or how come my hair is sooo curly? Why can't I look like you all ?" My mother would always answer "you are beautiful! You have beautiful skin which is a mixture of me and your daddy's love, your hair is magic hair cuz when it's wet it turns into a whole 'nother style, when you go into the sun it gets browner and redder than my skin!" Even though I struggled with the whole light skin vs dark skin amongst my Black peers and family and then I struggled with the whole "is that your mother? Are you adopted by her?" Or boys that I liked in high school would always tell me "man I wish you looked more like your mother!" All of these things did have me crying, feeling less than, lonely etc. but my mother strived soooooo hard to make sure I was proud of who I am! The color of my skin!!! She never made me feel less Native nor Black!! She ALWAYS made sure as I learned about the Native tribes of the U.S I always learned about the tribes of Africa!! She always made sure no one would dictate who I am but for me to dictate to them who I am and who the Creator blessed me to be!!! I'm sharing this testimony because being a woman is hard, being a Native woman is hard, being a Black woman is hard, but being all 3 can be harder especially when you don't fit into a "box" people try to put you in! Today yes I do deal with certain insecurities especially the more of an platform God is blessing me with, but the words of my mother secures me that I AM MAGIC!! I may not be the most beautifulest but I am perfectly created by God and so are you!! Today for your #journey2peace embrace your magic!! #journey2peace book coming soon!!!

#queenyonasda ・・・ Lately I’ve been getting frustrated with the delayed process, the cancellations, the straight ignoring, the hope of a promise that I don’t ever know will be fulfilled. But then I realized and reminded myself that MY timing is not Divine timing. Maybe what I’m hoping for is not what I’m ready for. Maybe the opportunities I desire is not of God and it’s a reminder to keep having faith. Faith is sooo key and when we battle with the “seeing” and the “unseeing” it can be difficult. In this season we must have FAITH!! We must continue to have HOPE of a better state of life. And most importantly we must continue to LOVE! Your time is coming! Continue to prepare for that blessing so when it does come your are ready to embrace it with your arms and heart open wide!!! #journey2peace on Amazon now!!!
