Reservation. Youngest of three, she grew up not far from her birthplace in a small community called Fruitland, sandwiched between the towns of Shiprock and Farmington. Her and her family later moved to Window Rock, Arizona where she graduated high school and decided to continue her education at Arizona State University. Shortly after, she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Industrial Design and Design Management. The idea of working for Nike has always been a dream for Lacey and college had helped her solidify that dream into a goal. On a leap of faith, mostly her own, she moved to the Pacific Northwest and took steps, any step, and every step, in hopes that one of them would lead her closer to Nike. One of those steps was attending the Pensole Footwear Design Academy in Portland, Oregon. The relationships she forged and

maintained at Pensole eventually allowed her to network her way to her Shangri-La, her light at the end of the tunnel, the Nike World

Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon.

Lacey started her career at Nike as a contract employee, color designing for baseball, football, lacrosse, and softball athletes. She was then offered a full-time position with tennis footwear where she continues to work with athletes like Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka and Rafael Nadal.

ACTIVE during

COVID-19

The Notah Begay III (NB3) Foundation is a national, award-winning Na-tive-led nonprofit leading the way to improve Native American children’s health. Each day, thousands of Native youth wake up facing significant health challenges and barriers to living full lives. The good news is that most are preventable and together we are changing this reality.

NB3 Foundation is changing the lives of Native American children by supporting and funding Native-driven, culturally centered programs and by providing direct opportunities for Native youth to live healthy, active lives. We believe that success must be driven at the local level and focus on holistic prevention, including child, family and community. Our ap-proach focuses on four core areas: healthy nutrition, physical activity, youth development and cultural connections. Together, these areas help provide youth with important protective factors that help them achieve their full potential. We remain committed to a vision that all children have the opportunity to live healthy, happy and fulfilled lives.

NB3 Foundation serves Native American youth and communities through three primary program areas:

1.NB3FIT(direct youth programming) 2.ImpactMaking(national grantmaking) 3.Evaluation and Research
