Hello, I’m Jetske Wauran and I am so excited to team up with <strong>Siouxland</strong><br />

<strong>Magazine</strong>! This team effort will serve as an avenue to share my passion<br />

project, “People of <strong>Siouxland</strong> - Portraits of the Extraordinary.” I launched<br />

this in September 2020, in hopes of inspiring and uplifting others in the<br />

most trying of times. As a visual storyteller, my mission is to highlight<br />

people who have made a profound impact in our community and write<br />

stories about the underrepresented individuals and hidden gems within<br />

<strong>Siouxland</strong>. It is an honor to share their unique and remarkable stories with<br />

you. Stories that are worth encouraging, enjoying, and celebrating.<br />

Jetske Wauran is a community activist, professional photographer, and<br />

Emmy award winning journalist.
