In this episode, viewers meet Ruth-Ann Thorn, a successful entrepreneur and art gallerist deeply rooted in her Native American community. The day begins with Ruth-Ann introducing her father, Henry Rodriguez, a dedicated activist for Native American rights, who inspires her journey. We also meet her cousins—Frank Mazzetti, Joyce McNeil Tokan, and Rik Mazzetti—who all contribute to their community in meaningful ways. Ruth-Ann then heads to the city for a photoshoot of her luxury skincare line and prepares for an upcoming art exhibit at her downtown San Diego gallery. The episode showcases her hard work and dedication in curating an art show that celebrates Native American culture. As the day wraps up, we see Ruth-Ann’s mother, Gloria Lee, who serves as a creative inspiration. The episode concludes with an art opening event, bringing together patrons, artists, and community members to celebrate art and culture.
