Tiokasin welcomes back Jennifer Robin (Choctaw) aka "Miss Jeff." Jennifer is the owner of Ofi Ni Productions and is a multiple award-winning producer and radio host, and television segment producer. Her weekly two-hour live program, Resilience Radio, which airs on KVMR 89.5 FM in Nevada City, California presents Native American authors, artists, musicians, storytellers and activists and showcases contemporary Native music. Over the years Jennifer has interviewed hundreds of well-known Natives, including Buffy Sainte-Marie, Dennis Banks and John Trudell. Resilience Radio has an international following and is known for the authentic Indigenous voice. Jennifer's field work in Cannonball, North Dakota during the Standing Rock protest is available as a one-hour audio special. She was a broadcaster for SPIRIT Radio, Standing Rocks official station. Jennifer's ability to engage in honest, in-depth interviews is as entertaining as it is informative. She is a member of the Native American Journalists Association (NAJA).
