High Design & Higher Purpose: Annita Lucchesi's Powerful Story

TW: rape, murder, police brutality  

Stoners, we’re throwing it way back to our second episode ever! The first half consists of regularly scheduled programming from High Design to Dear MTs, Baked Goods, and Munchie Moments. Plus, MT and Brandi take us behind the scenes of Cyrus vs. Cyrus. For the second half of the episode, your hosts welcome Annita Hetoevėhotohke’e Lucchesi, a Cheyenne survivor of domestic and sexual violence and the founder of the Sovereign Bodies Institute for research on missing and murdered Indigenous women. This episode was originally filmed around the time of George Floyd’s murder, and Annita shares how the Black Lives Matter and Say Her Name movements intersect with the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women movement. It is important to use this platform to give others a voice, and we hope you find Annita’s story as impactful as we did.
