A Conversation on Uncovering Interconnectedness and Honoring the Outdoors with Baratunde Thurston 

In this thought-provoking episode, Vernā engages with the talented Emmy-nominated storyteller Baratunde Thurston in a wide-ranging discussion covering community, unlikely allies, intergenerational lessons, and dispelling myths related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Baratunde discusses how different and seemingly unrelated people's connection with nature has impacted his perspective of interdependence, the future prospects of community, and why nature deserves the same rights humans do. Vernā and Baratunde’s conversation is a testament to the power of discourse in bridging societal divides and imagining a future rooted in shared understanding and cooperation.
