LIZARD GIRL + Madeline + AMA: Kathy Baird

Ask Me Anything: Changemakers features interviews with DMV residents who are making the world a better place. These interviews serve as inspiration for a performance by WIT’s improvisers.

The run also features performances by our family of company of ensembles . Each night features a different line-up and no two shows are the same (even remotely!).

About Kathy: Kathy Baird — Sicangu Lakota, an enrolled citizen of the Rosebud Sioux Nation, and a descendent of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin — is the Chief Communications Officer of The Washington Post, and is perhaps the only Native American at the C-Suite level in corporate America. She has worked across Native American and Indigenous communities and issues for decades, most recently at Nike in Beaverton, Oregon, where she was the Co-Chair of Nike’s Native American Network. Kathy also serves on the boards of IllumiNative (a non-profit focused on Native American representation and narrative change), the American Indian College Fund, and Rare, a global environmental nonprofit. Through these commitments, Kathy is dedicated to ensuring Indigenous visibility and inclusion, and that First Peoples are authentically and accurately portrayed.
