Karrisa feels it is her duty to her Indigenous Relatives to help create safe spaces where our people can gain knowledge together. To show that we are good allies, please wear red, especially red dresses, if at all possible.
Karrisa Hodge is President and founder of Missing Murdered Indigenous Women Chahta. She has ancestry to 3 Tribal Nations from her mother and fathers’ side, but she is a Tribal member of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma to honor her auntie Wanda and Ibah (ee-bah) David. As a mother of 3 and a bonus to one she strives to be a strong woman role model for her children. She does this because she knows how influential that can be. Her biggest role models and strongest women that made an impact in her life were her auntie Wanda Querterbitty and her grandmother Elsa Garcia. Karrisa believes especially in the matriarchal tribes she’s a part of, that women are life givers, leaders and influencers. Karissa feels it is her duty to her Indigenous Relatives to help create safe spaces where our people can gain knowledge, together.
