On today’s episode, I am honored and blessed to bring you my wonderful conversation with the 2022-23 Miss Indian New Mexico, Alysia Coriz. This interview was a long time coming, ever since I became a supporter of her cause and the advocacy work she does, bringing awareness and understanding of our beautiful pueblo way of life.  Alysia shares her story about her upbringing, family, friends, school bullies and her eventual journey as Miss Indian New Mexico. Sit back, relax, boil up pot of Indian tea, grab a hand full of piñons and join me on this wonderful journey with Miss Indian New Mexico, Alysia Coriz.
