I am in this world to change the world. I have been working in the pursuit of social and political justice since I was 14 years old. I work closely with many human rights organizations including: Amnesty International, Indigenous Action Media, Network in Solidarity with the People of Guatemala, and the American Indian Movement. I am currently program assistant at the International Forum on Globalization in San Francisco. I come from a family full of activists and amazing people who have inspired me to be a part of the positive changes in this world. I’m not your average indian.

I LOVE learning about different cultures and new languages, and I am pursuing a career in international photojournalism.

I am going to become an international journalist and photojournalist, so that I can educate and inform people about the world in hopes that maybe they’ll fall in love with it just as much as I have. My focus in life has become and will continue to be the indigenous initiative. This is a huge part of my desire to become a journalist. I was born an indigenous woman and I will use my education and experience to help implement the rights of indigenous peoples worldwide for the rest of my time here. One of the most important things to know about me is that I'm completely open-minded. I was raised multicultural and it has made me tolerant of and curious about different cultures and religions. It has also helped me develop my own opinions about the world and how I want to be a part of it.

So here is my blog that I will use to share my experiences with you! When you read a post of mine, I’d love for you to let me know how it could be better, (feedback is always appreciated) even if you don’t have a blog account, you can send me an email at gemmagivens@gmail.com
