I took this photo when I was invited to speak at the Dynamic Women’s Conference in Oklahoma, where I had the privilege of meeting members of the Chickasaw Nation.
What stayed with me was the opportunity to listen. To hear their stories, learn about their traditions, and spend time with people willing to share a part of their culture with me was a gift.
I am grateful for what I learned and especially thankful for the trust they gave me in allowing me to capture their photographs.
Sometimes the greatest privilege of being invited to speak is getting the opportunity to listen.
