Rachael Lorenzo is a fierce advocate for reproductive rights, for native and indigenous protections and rights, leading with self care - of themselves, their team, and their community. Rachael is an indigenous Mescalero, Apache Laguna Pueblo Xicana living in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Rachael fundamentally believes that if more people, especially white men, took care of themselves including tapping back into who they truly are and where they come from, that there would be less violence in the world overall.
Leading an indigenous led reproductive justice organization called Indigenous Women Rising and is also the Assistant Commissioner of Cultural Resources at the New Mexico State Land Office.
This conversation is robust in indigenous and native background, the state of the federal government, and the de-colonization that is meant to be unfolding across land that was taken by non-native Americans. Find out whose land you reside on by visiting https://native-land.ca/.
