The Taking Nature Black conference is back, “bigger, ‘badder,’ and bolder than ever,” over five days, primarily virtually. The theme is “Call and Response: Elevating our Stories, Naturally!” elevating African-Amerian stories Chautauqua-style with speakers, creators, innovators, scientists, educators, musicians, artists, and entertainers. The stories will cover everything from Climate Change to environmental justice and environmental joy in creative ways.
