Yesterday, our NASA crew met with Chef Kimberly Tilsen-Brave Heart at NSU. They listened to her story, where she came from and how her passion for feeding the people has launched her into the stages of TV, owning her own restaurant and developing ways for our people to create their own businesses. The students were talking about how they want to open their own business someday. It was a good day. Wopila Tanka to our NSU people for inviting us.
