Kindred is a new weekly podcast about our human relationship to animals and nature; how they inspire us, what we learn from them, and how we can advocate for them.

01/07/2025

This week, we’re honored to be joined by the brilliant Carolyn Finney—a cultural geographer, storyteller, actor, pop culture lover, and author of Black Faces, White Spaces: Reimagining the Relationship of African Americans to the Great Outdoors.

With a doctorate in geography and teaching roles at Wellesley, UC Berkeley, and the University of Kentucky, Carolyn brings a rich lens to a powerful conversation:

What does it truly mean to have a sense of place?
How do history, identity, and geography shape our feeling of home—and what happens when that’s taken away?

helps us reframe what “place” means—not just as a location, but as a reflection of how we move through and relate to the world around us.

Your relationship to the outdoors, your hometown, your environment—it all tells a story. What’s yours? We’d love to know. 💬
