Hello everyone! My Name is De’Ara Dosela, I am White Mountain Apache from the Fort Apache Reservation in Whiteriver, AZ.

Im a Senior at Haskell Indian Nations University Studying American Indian Studies and Social Work.

I will be Officially Modeling in New York at Indigenous New York Fashion week (September 11-15th), I’m beyond grateful for this opportunity and this will be my first time Modeling in New York. This is a really big dream of mine- I’m so happy and so excited. ❤️

I made this fundraiser as I’m a Full Time college student with an Inconsistent source of income but this is a really big opportunity and a long time dream of mine, Throughout my Fashion Journey my main goal is to uplift Indigenous Women, Plus Sized women and to be the representation that I didn’t have growing up, I love to Inspire the youth to follow their dreams and make their marks on this world, As a Rez Kid who built their career amongst other Indigenous Artists/Models I’m entirely humble in asking for your support :))

All funds will go towards Travels and Lodging - Anything is Appreciated

Please and thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart :))

Sincerely,

De’Ara Dosela
