Intro To Dee Writer

Posted Up: May 25th 2003, Dee Writer

Here @ nativehiphop.net, we are striving to bring more things to you, the visitors. Well, it just so happens, we are now featuring someone who is willing to write columns for this junt on the regular, or so I think? Anyways, here’s an introduction to Ms. “Dee Writer” and yeah, she does have a ‘real’ name, but for now, prefers to use this name. Alright, give it up to this new columnist.

A little about me, ok maybe a lot — but that’s a whole other story.

I am the new columnist. Or more accurately--a new columnist.

I can imagine the first thing you think, ”what the hell qualifies you as a columnist?”

”Are you rich or famous?”

Well, actually neither of those things has happened to me yet. But, considering that I am only two years over the legal drinking age, I have some time to work on those things.

I would like to consider myself a bit witty. But I will not deny that I am sometimes challenged. Challenged, as in, I have trouble figuring out the crazy people of the world - but that does not stop me from trying.

So, on with the credentials you say.

I have a degree - A bachelor’s degree in psychology.

Who better to provide some social commentary than someone with a degree that claims to study people?

My minors are/were American Indian Studies and Anthropology.

There you have it; I am a person who likes to study people with culture.

And since this is a website dedicated to Native People, who better than I am, a moderately educated enrolled member of a federally recognized tribe that resides in the Four Corners area to shed some light on a few things.

That or maybe just spit off a few interesting stories.

Anything else you ask?

My new strategy was to make friends with the teachers. After all - if I couldn’t fit in with the class and needed to learn-who better to help me than the people who chant, “my door is always open”.

Why yes my dear sweet audience, I am a human being and a woman.

That should about sum it up. As most people know, women know everything.

Ok, maybe not, but we are still holding some claim to that and are not quite ready to let it all go.

But, as I mentioned, this is an introduction. Here’s another run-down for you.

I enjoy reading and love writing. I love people and want the world to embrace the beauty and diversity that we call life.

I see the world through two reservation raised, urban living eyes and would not for one moment change the path I have taken.

So, sit back and enjoy the ride, column two will be here before you can bat an eye.
