Name: Kelsie Walda
Alias: DJ Chia Pudding (@chiapudding)
Pronouns: she/her
Location: Chicago
 
Influences: dancing <3, earth and universal energy, god, flowers, Missy Elliott + the hip/hop and r&b of the 90's/early 00's that I grew up with, my friends, Noumenal Rave, pure joy, raving with real ones in the woods :), the Skate Palace (childhood skating rink), and trees
 
Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: Swung (party)
 
Favorite Quote: "The world is burning. Ideas are like hot potatoes. If you're still hoarding yours when the waves consume the shore, when the fires reach your village, you have lost the game. Don't hold an idea for too long. Give it away, and trust that someone may think it better than you. I have come to the conclusion that I may not live long enough to finish all the writing and stories I want to tell. How much better would it be to give these stories away to people who can grow them into something wilder and more durable? Authorship and individuality have only recently become attached to art-making. For most of human history art-making was always multi-generational and always a relational event" - Sophie Strand 
 
Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Get to know yourself because other people (often unknowingly) will try to exert their will on you. If you can stay grounded in your own body/energy, you will be better equipped to navigate these influences in a healthy way. Practice :)) 

With this mix DJ Chia Pudding asks to please learn more about and consider donating to:
Tokeyamaniwin Project aims to 
"- Preserve indigenous plant medicine by making flower and environmental essences throughout Lakota territory and collecting the stories and mythologies associated with these regions.
- Create a dialogue with mental health providers and other care providers about the beneficial uses of flower essences for people experiencing chronic and acute post-trauma symptoms, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, and anxious/depressive states.
- Make and distribute flower essences to those suffering generational trauma caused by the effects of long-term colonial genocide.
- Engage native youth on the Cheyenne River Sioux, Pine Ridge, Rosebud, and Standing Rock Reservations to learn and create flower essence medicine for the healing of their communities."
