I am 15 years old, and I am a comic and board game nerd. I have noticed a large absence of Native-owned comic and board game stores. There is only one Native-owned comic book store and no game stores that I know of. I want to start filling that void. I love the world of Indigenous nerds and creatives and want to help others connect with that. I also want to share Indigenous content with the non-Native nerd world. We have an amazing pop culture, but so many don't know about it.

I started my first pop-up store at IndigiPop X in March 2023. My second was March 31-April 2 in Cleburne, TX at the IIA Celebration. They have both been popular and successful. I am continuing to run pop-ups this year. I also plan to work toward opening an online retail store this year and have a physical store by the time I am 18.
