Zhawa East

I'm Zhawa! My full indigenous name is Nigwigan Biinjibizo Waabani-Nodin Sa Zhawenim. It translates to: I have wings and fly about in the east wind carrying blessings. I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and I just recently turned 23 years old this year (2023). I have known all my life that I am a spiritual being put on earth with spiritual work to do, but for years I did not know what my purpose was, and what my work would be. I am still young, so my future work as a spiritual leader of people is still evolving. I grow spiritually each day and have come to understand that my primary spiritual work is not with people but rather with animals who end up in a shelter. I realized this is my spiritual assignment or mission on earth because I am gifted in working with animals. I commune with their spirits. I generally allow my spirit to merge with their hearts to learn from them whatever they need. Being able to tell me what they need helps them to calm down when they are distressed or dying. My ability to be informed by our spiritual connection eases their transitions when they are passing.
