[10] News from Native California is published by the nonprofit Heyday,[12] where Medina has been the Berkeley Roundhouse Outreach Coordinator[10] since 2013.

[2][15] He is also one of a few rotating hosts of Bay Native Circle, a weekly indigenous radio program and podcast which airs on KPFA.

[20] After hearing Medina speak at Mission Dolores in 2012, a journalist wrote: "Chochenyo is full of both harsh guttural sounds and soft tones, like velvet sandpaper.

In 2015 he was chosen to read verses in Chochenyo during the Catholic Mass at the canonization ceremony for Father Serra, and he took advantage of the opportunity which would mean hundreds of millions of people hearing the language.

[6] In 2020, when Cafe Ohlone was closed, Medina and Louis Trevino began hosting weekly Chochenyo and Rumsen language classes online.

[31] During the COVID-19 pandemic, University Press Books permanently closed,[32] and Cafe Ohlone began offering foot-square wooden takeout boxes in lieu of communal dining.

[34] After multiple reschedulings,[35][36][37][9][34] Cafe Ohlone reopened in late 2022 at the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology at UC Berkeley.

[38][39] Upon reopening, Cafe Ohlone served tea on Wednesdays, lunch on Thursdays, and brunch on Sundays,[39] with dinner beginning in October.

[39][40][41] The café in its new location was dubbed ‘oṭṭoy, meaning "repair", "mend", or "healing" in Chochenyo, referring to the relationship between Ohlone people and the Hearst Museum.
