EP10 S02: Lauren White
In this episode we continue our second series where we talk with Choctaw women and 2SLGBTQ+ folks from our original group of Choctaw folks to discuss their feelings, expectations, and experience while anticipating receiving traditional tattoos.
Brit talks with Lauren White (She/Her) who has a MPH in Epidemiology and who is currently completing her PhD in Social Work and Social Psychology. Lauren grew up in Idabel, Oklahoma District 1 in the Choctaw Nation and is a citizen of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. She discusses her thought processes around knowledge keeping and identity and continues the conversation around participation of tattooists and people receiving tattoos.
