Yamina Nater-Otero is the newly appointed secretary for Amplify The Future and I can personally attest to how lucky they are to have her on board! Her passion and drive for uplifting, supporting and educating BIPOC youth is unmatched. Today, we dig into what it really means to be a birder and what the act of birding can look like versus what it's historically been painted as having to look like.  We talk a lot about how great today's youth are and how important it is for them to realize the wonder of the natural world that is directly around them. Join us! Check out Yamina's written works: https://ny.audubon.org/news/what-does-%E2%80%9Coutdoorsy%E2%80%9D-lookhttps://ny.audubon.org/news/latinx-heritage-month-para-las-aves---Follow me on IG @alwaysbebirdin_podcastDonate at buymeacoffee.com/alwaysbebirdin
