Rez Dog Moms

We came together at 9:05pm on 9/5/2000. I knew Shanii was going to be an amazing person from the moment I met her. I feel like one of my greatest achievements is being able to introduce myself as Shanii’s mom.

Navigator

I have watched and admired the women of the Rebelle since 2021. I have had several life changes taking place in my life over the last 8 months that have primed me for a desire to prove that I am enough.

Occupation:

Document Processor

Residence:

Ogden, Utah

Favorite Quote:

Many are educated beyond their intelligence.- Great Grandpa Potter

Fun Fact:

I never put down a handful of change without looking at every single coin.

Why the Rebelle? Why now?

My marriage of 33 years is ending (after the decision was made to compete). After attending Rebelle U in March, I realized that this is something that my soul needed. I have yearned for a platform that made women feel value and worth and strength. I want to aspire to be like those women and I am going to start NOW!

Who, or what, inspires you most?

I admire anyone that can keep their shit together while everything is falling apart around them. I wish I could be like them - whoever they are.

Top three favorite podcasts / books / shows

Seinfeld is my all time go to. I love Reservation Dogs and although I identify more with White Steve, I am glad to be included.
I am currently reading Masters of the Air but I LOVED All the Light We Cannot See

Greatest adventure to date?

I would have said 33 years of marriage but that went to shit. I will say that I love traveling and encourage myself to be able to be self sufficient when in a strange place. People are people no matter where you go and there is good everywhere. My ongoing adventure is finding that good everyday while my life around me is crumbling.

Driver

I am a hard working, quiet, funny person/student. I get along with almost everyone and everyone likes me. If they don't like me, its because they are late on their loan payment.

Occupation:

Bank Teller

Residence:

Favorite Quote:

I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo T-shirt, 'cause it says, like, "I wanna be formal, but I'm here to party too."- Talladega nights.

Fun Fact:

I have never broken a bone. My boyfriend has broken 16.

Why the Rebelle? Why now?

My momma needs me. I want to help her have this amazing experience to remind her that she can do hard things. And why the hell not!? I got my time off approved!

Who, or what, inspires you most?

My mom. She is continuing be faced with hard things and has been able to still find time for me.
