Ashley Jefferson and Kisa Marx join Annie to bring their wisdom and experience with racial and cultural equity and inclusion in the natural world. As Black women and educators rooted in play and nature, they share their personal experiences as well as the historical context to understanding more on the topic of justice in the great outdoors. Ashley also discusses her new book out with Little Feminist Book Club depicting real images of authentic play in nature. This is a worthy listen for anyone in the fields of early childhood, nature and forest schools, or self-directed education.

Thanks for listening!
