YP4 is on the road!  Kevin Killer and I are heading down to Lawton, OK tonight to lend some fellow support for 08 fellow Maya Torralba's Native vote outreach.  Throughout the rest of the week we will be meeting with administrators, teachers and students at Commanche Nation College, Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribal College and Pawnee Nation College in Oklahoma.

Maya Torralba is our featured fellow for the month of July.

Maya is the proud mother of Chado and twins Matthias and Kateri. She is also the founder of the Community Esteem Project in Anadarko, Oklahoma and a 2008 Young People For fellow at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma.

In this interview, she talks about the importance of community esteem, the power of traditions and how other YP4 fellows have inspired her.
