Loxitawny channels her passion for equity and for her community into transformative projects that inspire change.
Loxitawny’s recent Roots & Shoots project involved creating personal care kits for unhoused women and women facing incarceration.
In addition to assembling and distributing these Dignity Kits, Loxitawny also advocated for improving the healthcare of under-resourced women. She also organized a local car show curated to feature Indigenous art and design. Loxitawny continues to explore impactful ways to serve her community, drawing on her Roots & Shoots experience.
Outside of Roots & Shoots, Loxitawny is completing her bachelor’s degree in Criminology. She stays active through running and participating in the Black Student Union and her school’s Psychology club. Loxitawny was recently named a Southwest Native American Foundation scholar and received the Education Forward Arizona scholarship. She values building connections and working collaboratively to drive change.
Reflecting on her Roots & Shoots journey, Loxitawny says: “Everyone is always uplifting each other and there is no competition— just powerful people lifting each other up for a better change.”
