4: Traci Rabbit | Cherokee Art, Legacy & Inspiration
Cherokee National Treasure and artist Traci Rabbit stops by the pod!
As a second-generation artist and entrepreneur, Traci shares her journey of growing up on the Cherokee Nation Reservation, learning from her father — the legendary Bill Rabbit — carving her own path in the art world, and being celebrated for capturing strong Native women in her work.
Traci opens up about her creative process, how she balances being a full-time artist and businesswoman, and the importance of making art accessible to everyone — from original paintings to wearable designs.
We also talk to Traci about her love for fashion, her role as a mentor to young Indigenous artists, and … her stolen truck! (Update: Traci found it!)
