Courtney is a local author and shows us what it’s like to be truly vulnerable and publicly daring. Join me as I listen to what Courtney has to say about her book, her journey, and her aspirations. I hope she is a permanent friend in my life because her story is so relatable and I think she is so courageous.

Marijke Fakasiieiki and Sheila Fritts talk community, peace, journalism, and how women support one another. For Marijke, her community of women inspired her and she stays connected to those have been her influencers and mentors. For Spokane, Marijke Fakasiieiki is a peace dealer who tells us our community in Spokane is international. After fourty years, she is leading the way with the Fig Tree publication, sensitive and informed interfaith leadership, and revolutionary thinking in our world- and right here in Spokane. I am honored to have her time and her voice on Love Spokane Forever!
