Laura Navar, Outreach Manager at National Parks Conservation Association, considers herself to be a bit of a late bloomer in the conservation nonprofit world. She didn’t know that the environmental field would be of interest to her because conservation wasn’t something that was talked about growing up. And yet, as we’ll hear, it’s always been embedded in her Latinx family culture.In this episode, Laura will share her unique path to a green career and to claiming the title of an environmentalist. Featured in this episode: Laura Navar Hosted & Produced by Gale StraubA production of Ravel MediaSponsored by  BetterHelp, Danner, & Sierra DesignsJoin the She Explores Podcast community on FacebookVisit She-Explores.com & Follow Us on InstagramResourcesFollow Laura Navar on Instagram: @sweetgrassbhLA Young Leaders CouncilNational Parks Conservation AssociationLatino OutdoorsAn Intro to Latin American Magical Realism in 6 NovelsAbout Juana Inés De la CruzBlack Girls Trekkin'Ravel MediaSponsors and Discount CodesSierra Designs: Learn more about their 2020 Reach Out InitiativeFollow Black Girls Trekkin' on InstagramDanner: Learn more about the Danner Trail 2650's.Betterhelp: Get 10% off your first month at Betterhelp.com/exploreEpisodes air weekly on Wednesdays-- subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss an episode.Ad Music is by Josh Woodward & Swelling
