On this episode of Le Run Down I had an incredible conversation with runner and Founder of Rising Hearts, Jordan Marie Daniel.
Jordan has always advocated for indigenous peoples, but the 2019 Boston marathon was a huge signal boost for her message.
She loves running, and uses the platform it provides to raise awareness, and promote positive change for the indigenous community.
