   On how to increase inclusivity in the Alaskan National Guards

   In this episode, Captain Laurel Foster, Executive Officer (XO) to the Director, NGB Comptroller, in the National Guard Bureau Joint Staff, tells us about being a native Alaskan (Cu'pik) and a member of the National Guards in Alaska. She explains how joining the military gave her a new sense of belonging and purpose after growing up between rural and urban Alaska as a half Cup'ik and half white. And we talk about how this complex heritage has become her strength, advocating for more inclusivity in the National Guards - and Alaskan society at large.
