Lu-Anne Haukaas Lopez is one of the most extraordinary women I've ever met. Born in Colombia, South America, Lu-Anne's family was displaced from her birth country because of war, and moved to Interior Alaska where she grew up living a rural, subsistence, communal lifestyle on Ahtna Athabascan homelands. Her journey to the position of Deputy Executive Director of ACLU Alaska is a must listen.

Her life story begins at the age of three when she fled her homeland of Columbia and eventually to Alaska

Kaleem is a mentor, spiritual colleague and the person I go to for perspective and insight when my own isn't brining me home.
