Hello, I’m Jetske<br />
Wauran and I am<br />
so excited to team<br />
up with <strong>Siouxland</strong><br />
<strong>Magazine</strong>!<br />
This team effort will<br />
serve as an avenue<br />
to share my passion<br />
project, “People of<br />
<strong>Siouxland</strong> - Portraits<br />
of the Extraordinary.” I launched this project<br />
in September 2020, in hopes of inspiring and<br />
uplifting others in the most trying of times<br />
especially during the pandemic. As a visual<br />
storyteller, my mission is to connect with<br />
people who have made a true and profound<br />
impact in our community and write stories<br />
about the underrepresented individuals and<br />
hidden gems within <strong>Siouxland</strong>. You’d be<br />
amazed by how many there are! These are<br />
everyday people, from all backgrounds and<br />
walks of life, that are changing our world for the<br />
better. It is an honor to share their unique and<br />
remarkable stories with you. Stories that are<br />
worth encouraging, enjoying, and celebrating,<br />
and can fill our lives with positivity.<br />
