Wingbeat 88 is the unique strength of a hummingbird’s wing speed – 88 wingbeats per second.

The hummingbird is representative of Diné matriarchal leadership (particular to the founders of the organization) which prioritizes care and compassion for all community members. The merging of two hummingbirds into a singular butterfly image holds special meaning between Ora & Liv who have been best friends for 28+ years. Apart, the hummingbird represents both Ora & Liv as individuals. Together, they transform into a single butterfly. Just as the butterfly represents change, Ora & Liv seek to affect change in their communities to teach and show the transformative power of love and support the Indigenous way. 

As an organization, we pay heed to change, accepting the universe is always in a state of perpetual movement. This movement creates change, which brings blessings, strengthens our spirits, and is often the unexpected catalyst to healing and growth. Change is our organization’s pathway to progress.
