Read a collection of writings from Chief Ogimaa:⁠
CREATOR'S CALLING⁠
https://go.awarenowmedia.com/creators-calling⁠
⁠
Chief Ogimaa is an Anishinaabe Runner and Knowledge Keeper. He is the Chief of Foothills Ojibway on Turtle Island. He shares this: ⁠
⁠
​"​Whether it is colored people, Asian people, First Nations people wherever they are, and our white brothers and sisters; we are all together as creations of the spirit, Creator, God himself. He gave us one air, one sun, one moon, it is one day to be shared, one night to be shared. We are all in it. It doesn’t matter where you are, those values are there. We need to take care of the world, because we need the world to take care of us.⁠
⁠
We are spiritual beings. That spirit will always be there...we will always fall back to that spirit…We must care about each other as Creator intends."⁠ by @awarenowmedia

BEYOND THE MYTHS⁠
‘What MS Really Looks Like’⁠
Personal Story by Nicole Williams⁠
Featured in ‘The Complex Edition’ of AwareNow⁠
https://go.awarenowmedia.com/the-complex-edition⁠
⁠
Multiple sclerosis is often misunderstood because so much of it can’t be seen. As both an RN and someone living with MS, Nicole Williams knows the distance that can exist between what people assume and what a person is actually experiencing. Here, she challenges eight common myths about MS and offers a clearer, more compassionate understanding of what life with the disease can look like.⁠

⁠
Some stories entertain us. Others stay with us, changing what we understand about another person, a community, or even ourselves. As AwareNow (@awarenowmedia) joins New York Festivals (@newyorkfestivals) in recognizing storytelling with the power to inform, connect and create change, I sat down with Rose Anderson to talk about the stories we choose to honor, why recognition matters, and what storytelling can still ask of all of us.⁠

“Everything I have exists within the lifespan of this new heart.” -Adolfo Lopez⁠

AN ABNORMAL HEART⁠
‘A Life Built On Second Chances’⁠
Exclusive Interview w/Adolfo Lopez⁠
Conducted by Allié McGuire⁠
Featured in ‘Innerviews’⁠
Published in ‘The Complex Edition’ of AwareNow⁠
https://go.awarenowmedia.com/the-complex-edition⁠
⁠
There are hearts we are born with and hearts we are given. Adolfo Lopez has known both. A heart transplant recipient, artist, father and founder of Abnormal Hearts (@abnrmlhearts), Adolfo has transformed a lifetime shaped by congenital heart disease into something larger than survival: a community built from scars, stories, art and the belief that what makes us different may also give our lives meaning.⁠

I can begin the day with twelve brilliant ideas and end it unable to choose what to eat. 

Somewhere in between, my brain quietly clocks out without notifying management.

Our MS word of the day is cognitive fatigue.

The medical definition is mental exhaustion resulting from sustained thinking, concentration or decision-making do to neurological inefficiency.

This is the honest translation: when your brain shuts down before your to-do list does.

That’s cognitive fatigue in a few words.

HEALING OUT LOUD⁠
‘Finding A Voice Beyond Survival’⁠
Exclusive Interview w/Danielle Carpio⁠
Conducted by Allié McGuire⁠
Featured in ‘Innerviews’⁠
Published in ‘The Complex Edition’ of AwareNow⁠
https://go.awarenowmedia.com/the-complex-edition⁠
⁠
For years, Danielle Carpio carried the effects of complex trauma without having the language to explain what was happening inside her. Receiving a CPTSD diagnosis did not erase what she had endured, but it helped her understand that she was never broken and that her responses made sense in the context of what had happened. Now, as Complex Dani and the founder of the Healing & CPTSD Foundation (@healing.and.cptsd.foundation), she is healing out loud so others no longer have to survive in silence.⁠
