 Being a Native American living in New Mexico has a lot of challenges, but also a lot of opportunities. My name is Jake. I'm a program manager at New Mexico Community Capital. Because of the stereotypes, growing up I felt ashamed of my Shawnee identity. So for me, I want to flip the script for Native Americans. You ready to go to work with Daddy? The goal of New Mexico Community Capital is to strengthen Native American entrepreneurs. When we're stronger as a community, we all grow. So that's why I created the Financial and Business Basics course. When I was building the program, I knew I wanted to teach digital skills. When you learn digital skills, you could progress your career. You could expand your business. You could change your life. Is that saved in your drive? Cool! Good job! When I found the Applied Digital Skills program from Google, I was like, this is exactly what I was looking for. It's free, it's easy to use, and it's something that you could do at your own pace. It's really simple. It's very user-friendly. I like that it's a one-stop shop, and so it makes it really accessible. This is so exciting to be a part of a program that really impacts real people. Pottery is actually a dying art nowadays, and we want to help revive it. Using the digital skills we created, a catalog, it shows what we create from start to finish. With all the help that we got from this class, we're planning on opening another location. It's growing! Yes! Digital Literacy allows us to decide for ourselves what our future can be. With Activative Engaged Learners, we'll see these communities build and grow and thrive in the 21st century, and that makes me proud.
