My name is Carol Seppilu, yupigestun Nasqaghmii, and I am the IÑUA Outreach Coordinator. I was born and raised in Savoonga, Alaska on St. Lawrence Island and I’ve lived in Nome most of my life. I am a long distance runner and I use this passion to raise awareness for suicide prevention and mental health. One of the things I enjoy doing is giving motivational talks to the people in our region and opening up discussions around mental health.
