Finding Joy & Justice in the Outdoors: Special Event with NatGeo Explorer James Edward Mills

Are you interested in outdoor recreation and environmental conservation? Join us for an evening with James Edward Mills, a National Geographic Explorer and photographer with over 20 years of experience. He’ll be discussing his book, The Adventure Gap: Changing the Face of the Outdoors, which was named by Outside Magazine as one of the 10 “Outdoor Books that Shaped the Last Decade.” As a freelance journalist and an independent media producer with a career that spans more than 20 years, he specializes in sharing stories about outdoor recreation, environmental conservation, acts of charitable giving, and practices of sustainable living. He has worked in the outdoor industry since 1989 as a guide, outfitter, independent sales representative, writer, and photographer. This event is co-hosted by Latino Outdoors and Justice Outside.

James will also provide a preview of his upcoming project titled The Black American Traveler’s Guide to Our National Parks - an illustrated tour through America’s historic sites and monuments, highlighting the role that people of color have always played in the formation of the United States.

This event will also feature panelist and moderator, Jose Gonzalez, Founder of Latino Outdoors and Co-Founder of the Outdoorist Oath. Panelist Kim Moore Bailey, President and CEO of Justice Outside, will provide a perspective on bringing racial equity to the outdoors through the organization’s outdoor education, training, and grantmaking work in the Bay Area and beyond.
