Radmilla Cody
With an angelic voice of bluebirds singing, Radmilla Cody, a Canyon Records recording artist, Indie Award Winner, Indian Summer Award
Nominee, and four-time Native American Award Nominee continues to maintain Navajo culture by recording music that children sing with
pride and lyrics the Diné elders can be proud of. Radmilla is a biracial woman who continues to touch the lives and heal the hearts of her
supporters. Miss Cody is of the Tla’a’schi’i’ (Red-ORCHE-on-Cheek) clan and is African-American. A survivor of domestic violence,
Radmilla uses her personal experiences to advocate strongly against the epidemic of violence. It is an issue she has become very passionate
about. The "Strong Spirit....Life Is Beautiful Not Abusive" campaign is organized & established by Radmilla & is held annually to bring about
awareness to teen dating violence throughout Native Communities & abroad. As a biracial person she attempts to communicate positive
messages about her dual identity as children who are biracial or multiracial still bear the brunt of prejudice. Today, Radmilla is grounded on a
renewed foundation.
“The Creator has given me the strength to look forward in life, to embrace the beautiful and the positive.”
- Radmilla Cody
