On camera or off, it’s the wildlife for me. @natgeo #WomenOfImpact

It’s not all fun & games. My body shuts down sometimes and my scariest asthma moments have included week-long hospital stays. But unlike so many Americans, I can get my medicine when I need it, which has facilitated a career in the outdoors. This is an example of my privilege & an inequality I want to help correct 💪🏾 🌲

Whether in the field or on the stage, bears, lions, & this planet’s wild animals are with me wherever I go and allow me to do the science I love. Last night kicked off my Nat Geo Live speaking tour, and I couldn’t be more honored to be diving into my show titled The Secret Life of Bears.
Many thanks to Alex Wenchel who produced this show, the amazing @natgeo & @disney teams that are coordinating safe travel to 13+ cities during COVID (swipe to see photos of what a “meet & greet” looks like these days), and of course the amazing audiences that are interested in the science behind how we can keep these majestic creatures on the planet. Onward 🐻🐻✨✨

@thenorthface created the #ExploreFundCouncil in 2021 which brought me into deep work with some amazing activists, scholars, athletes, and personal heroes. All BIPOC and all dedicated to the movement for an inclusive and safe outdoor experience for all, we worked to create some practices that everyone (& every company) can use to help the efforts. AND even better, we got to allocate millions of dollars to nonprofit groups working to enhance the leadership of Black, Indigenous, and people of color in the outdoors. What an experience
Big shout out to my council members @lenawaithe @jimmychin @hakstao @teachandtransform @iron.jody @shaneebenjamin @josebilingue #ChrisDean & #MyronFord for teaching me so much
Biggest shoutout to my baby girl for being a timely @thenorthface model 🖤

This was such an important conversation with @raewynngrant. A wildlife ecologist that spoke on many things from – how she got to where she is today, the importance of knowing your Black history as American history and how racial justice is environmental justice!
I absolutely loved having her on the show – please take a moment to listen and learn from her as I did today!
Happy Black History Month y’all!
✊🏾If you listen – shoot Dr. Grant a VENMO @ Rae-Wynn-Grant.
✊🏾She recommended supporting @blackoutside_inc + @campfoundergirls monthly!! I agree!!
✊🏾Also follow her over on Tik Tok as she creates about Black History
Next Real Talk will be 2/23/22 with Talaya from @_asipoftee_ – see you there!
