Do you see yourself represented in the outdoor industry? As a black woman, Parker McMullen Bushman (who you may know as Kween Werk) struggled to see herself in the industry and is here to change that. She and Jamie talk about Parker's journey into the outdoors, growing up in a culture of "colorblindness," and more.

Parker is a dynamic speaker whose passion for justice, accessibility, and equity is evident in everything she does. She engages audiences in new thinking around what it means to be an inclusive leader and diversity change agent by building capacity for transformational change.
You'll leave this episode inspired by the moves she is making in diversity in environmental organizations and green spaces.

There are so many  ways to get involved in equity in the outdoors - one of them being Ecoinclusive, which Parker mentions in this conversation.

Here is the Life Expectancy research Parker mentions, as well as the Digital Green Book GoFundMe through Inclusive Journeys.
