Before we get started I want to send a call out to all you black indigenous Latinx Asian and women of color

listeners out there. We're working on a special four-part She Explorers podcast mini series

that won't be hosted by me.

It'll be hosted by outdoor advocate Gabachia,

highlighting girls and women of color in the outdoors,

as well as a few organizations that help break down barriers
