"We are changing surf culture by reclaiming the spaces that we've been pushed away from, reshaping the image of what a surfer should look like, and retelling the story of women of color and the ocean!" - Marlim Reynosa Program and Events Manager, Brown Girl Surf https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a655c61d55b41bd11f01bde/1541506508128-148SNW0QW1Q7Y0CACDYY/B6AD547F-FF94-418F-9D0E-9951FA1FB665-1.jpg Brown Girl Surf - It’s all love and support. “And you’re getting supported by people who you can identify with. You look to these people and you have similar experiences. The support that they’re giving you is similar to the support they’d be able to give themselves. To be outside in the sun, near water, and nature with other amazing, powerful women of color, that experience in itself is so valuable. And there’s not enough places for us to do that.” -L.

They share a passion for Oneida white corn: an ancient variety dating back to the tribe’s ancestral homelands in upstate New York. “Laura’s corn soup recipe is reservation famous!” Webster says. Historically, scarcity of the crop limited the preparation of white corn soup to special occasions such as ceremonies and funerals. To make it a staple of the Oneida diet, the cousins are a part of a cooperative collecting seeds and growing corn according to traditional practices. Preparing corn soup the Oneida way is labor-intensive but sustainable, and Webster believes it holds the key to solving many health problems plaguing their community in recent decades. To begin making the delicacy, they use hand-picked, hand-husked corn dried in ornate braids over the course of the winter. They cook it in hardwood ashes to remove the hull and allow it to expand in size. The corn releases niacin, a vitamin known for its ability to lower high cholesterol levels. The hulling process can take up to three hours. Then, the corn is mixed with dry kidney and pinto beans, along with smoked pork hocks. By practicing traditional Oneida ways, Webster and Manthe regain intimacy with their cultural heritage. For many years, displacement and assimilation resulted in many Native children growing up speaking only English. “Even though I grew up [on the reservation] I didn’t grow up learning the language,” says Webster, whose parents forbade her from associating with other tribal members in the Oneida longhouse down the road. Traditional preparation of Oneida corn soup benefits other Wisconsin communities, too. To access a sustainable source of hardwood ashes, Manthe and Webster developed a relationship with the Menominee Tribe, many of whom burn hard wood to heat their homes. The Menominee now trade ashes for dehydrated corn. Rooted in traditional growing techniques, Manthe’s sight is set on innovation. “We’re getting braver. . . using corn flour to make banana bread and fritters, but we’d like to expand and make traditional recipes from other tribes,” she says. The cousins share the story of bringing their dehydrated corn to friends in Oaxaca, Mexico, who added it to their famous Posole soup. “They loved it because it’s not the corn grown in their village,” shares Manthe. “They also joined us on a trip to Ecuador and brought these gigantic tortillas and they shared with the [Quechua] people. It was a three-way trade of knowledge, ideas and seeds!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a655c61d55b41bd11f01bde/1541546184357-FX4CQD500T7SX5SMB4S3/cornhusk+dolls+oneida+2.png Food Traditions - Oneida corn husk dolls, Oneida, Wisconsin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a655c61d55b41bd11f01bde/1541546258258-BE8ONTPOUTQI31XSJGVE/cornhusk+dolls+mexico_00000.png Food Traditions - Mexican corn husk doll, Racine, Wisconsin https://www.michaelavatcheva.com/google daily 0.75 2018-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a655c61d55b41bd11f01bde/1541504985430-5W9WY7EE1EAXXO5XBACK/DSC01191.jpg Google Walkout https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a655c61d55b41bd11f01bde/1541505062516-MMMFRYZR6YV5W9EJSG9M/DSC01165-2.jpg Google Walkout - A young woman holds a handmade sign, which reads “Not Ok Google #DontBeEvil.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a655c61d55b41bd11f01bde/1541505149681-CYC9ZU243BOGQOT46UHF/DSC01088.jpg Google Walkout https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a655c61d55b41bd11f01bde/1541505198263-3LIJU8KYIRFZLDK47FXO/DSC01126.jpg Google Walkout https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a655c61d55b41bd11f01bde/1541505225949-EE5LNYYAMOWKLTRIAFD0/DSC01043.jpg Google Walkout https://www.michaelavatcheva.com/motiongraphics daily 0.75 2018-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a655c61d55b41bd11f01bde/1541539671060-1VB6L2RTXNL9QYNN6ULM/Screen+Shot+2018-06-28+at+2.55.42+PM.png Motion Graphics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a655c61d55b41bd11f01bde/1541457540387-05YQCXGHXOKY52OMHR9Q/DSC00633-2.jpg Motion Graphics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a655c61d55b41bd11f01bde/1541576475445-3DY8VJVM5B1ZZWKK2TT0/still+title_02196.png Motion Graphics Hip-Hop U features the story of the University of Wisconsin-Madison First Wave scholarship program.

She started racing her first DN ice boat only two months after giving birth to her only child. Despite being described in the press as Mrs. Robert Pegel, the odd Midwestern housewife who prefers to pursue speed in harsh winter conditions instead of perfecting her piecrust skills, Jane feels she truly belongs in the ice boating community. She is deeply convinced that women are capable of competing with and defeating men. Her achievements allay any doubt. She is two-time American DN champion and eleven times Northwestern region champion. https://www.michaelavatcheva.com/wisconsinlife daily 0.75 2018-11-06 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a655c61d55b41bd11f01bde/t/5be198a621c67c61c41fc0f9/1541510076524/ Wisconsin Life Sam Black has been making a living playing Magic: The Gathering for a decade.
