Lakota Dawn Badheartbull-Clark is an Executive Assistant in the entertainment industry whose career bridges creative strategy, storytelling, and advocacy. Known for turning creative chaos into clarity, she’s worked with best-selling authors and production teams to build campaigns, manage tours, and coordinate media across multiple time zones. A natural multitasker and problem-solver, Lakota has also lent her skills to numerous nonprofit start-ups, helping them establish operations, communications, and outreach strategies from the ground up.
A proud member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, Lakota spent over a decade in the foster care system, an experience that shaped her resilience and deepened her understanding of how Native youth are too often silenced or overlooked within child welfare. Her lived experience fuels her mission to create visibility and systemic change, both within creative industries and advocacy spaces. Now based in Los Angeles, Lakota continues to carve her own path in entertainment while using her platform to uplift underrepresented voices. She believes representation isn’t just about visibility; it’s about power, belonging, and rewriting the narratives for those who were never meant to be written into them.
