In the season one finale of Outdoorsy, I'm joined by Parker McMullen Bushman (also known as KWEEN WERK)!
They share their journey of redefining what it means to be outdoorsy and the importance of representation in outdoor spaces. They discuss the barriers faced by marginalized communities in accessing nature and the need for inclusivity in environmental advocacy. Parker emphasizes the power of community, hope, and collective action in the fight for environmental justice, encouraging listeners to embrace their identities and reclaim their place in the outdoors.
