Session Description:

We are honored to welcome Dr. Carolyn Finney—storyteller, cultural geographer, and author of Black Faces, White Spaces—for a compelling session at this year’s Annual Environment & Spirituality Summit.

With a deep commitment to truth-telling and transformation, Dr. Finney’s work invites us to examine the histories that shape our relationships with land, race, and belonging in America. Through her unique blend of personal narrative, cultural analysis, and academic insight, she helps us reimagine a liberatory, just, and green future grounded in presence, memory, and joy.

As part of our 2025 Summit theme “Strong and Supported,” this session will explore how the Earth and its stories hold us—and how, in return, we might become better kin to one another and to the land. Whether through policy, performance, or the written word, Dr. Finney’s voice challenges us to expand who is seen, heard, and supported in environmental spaces.

Join us for a rich hour of reflection, story, and possibility with one of today’s most powerful environmental thought leaders.
