Hillary Kempenich

2017-2018 Fellow

My experience with ILI has been a joyous in growth personally, in my spirituality, in my work as an artist, and as a leader in communities. I cannot specify one particular moment with ILI, as all the parts created the whole experience. ILI brought me into spaces that I may not have otherwise had been able to experience with the unique perspectives, as well as allowing me to spend time amongst my own ancestral communities. ​"

Bobby LeFebre 

2017-2018 Fellow

ILI challenged a group of familiar strangers to come together, explore shared histories, lick each other’s wounds, celebrate, dance, and work to reiterate and realize our full potential.  ILI challenged us to understand that our journeys toward liberation are inseparably entwined. ILI has left an impression on me that will linger inside of me well into the future.
