“As a white girl, I’m not even going to pretend to understand the unjust atrocities that Sam and BIPOC experience in the great outdoors. But as ally and advocate for inclusivity, I can say without a doubt that Sam’s voice needs to be amplified. Her honest, heartfelt insights on the competitive nature of birding, one-up-manship, and aggressive know-it-all old white dudes are ~SPOT ON~ and mirror the same thoughts I had when I started birding 2-3 years ago as a 20-something. Like, hello? That time is OVER. Passion and enthusiasm for nature cannot be (pardon the pun) pigeonholed. I can’t wait to join Sam on her birding adventures!”
