Both African American and Native, Yonasda draws from the deep healing, artistry, and sense of community indigenous to both heritages.
Most recently her mother’s words and Spirit have helped Yonasda navigate her way through as she battles lung cancer.
Yonasda is a talented poet and musical artist who came of age with the Hip Hop generation, informed by the legacy of struggle which birthed her at the height of the America Indian Movement.
She is of the most principled of human beings…impeccable with both her words and commitment to Black and Indigenous liberation. Her word is bond and righteousness is more important than money. She is a devoted friend and mother, without sacrificing the essence of her being.
@queenyonasda is a divine Black woman.

We are grateful for the courage, vision, sacrifice, and power of Black Lives Matter Grassroots Twin Cities lead Chauntyll Allen, courageous comrade Nekima Levy Armstrong, and other principled organizers for their righteous resistance to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) federal invasion and fascist repression in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Rather than submitting to an unparalleled evil that murders mothers in their own vehicles, explodes chemical weapons upon infants, kidnaps and imprisons preschoolers, brutalizes children, separates families, and terrorizes communities, grassroots organizers in the Twin Cities are putting their own bodies, freedom and livelihood on the line to secure community.
