PGMONE 2019

In March of 2019 I had the absolute pleasure and privilege to attend the @PGMONESummit on behalf of @BrownGirlsClimb.

This summit brings together People of the Global Majority (aka POC) who work in environmental and outdoor spaces.

I have really struggled to put into words what this experience was like. Here are a few that come to mind:

Transformative

Healing

Necessary

Magical

Empowering

Rejuvenating

Spiritual

Restorative

Affirming

I am incredibly grateful to everyone I met at this year’s summit. Thank you to @narinda___ , @stormywithachance, @browngirl_green, and @tiannastruth for leading some really mind blowing workshops. Thank you to @bleavitt8 for allowing me to co-lead a workshop with you and to all who attended. Thank you to @forrest_in_the_forrest for holding down the dance floor w me.
