Women Who Inspire: Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer

Join us for an enriching celebration of Women Who Inspire, featuring the esteemed Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer. As part of Women's History Month, Dr. Kimmerer will grace us with her profound insights and inspiring journey as an indigenous woman, mother, scientist, and advocate for sustainability from the lens of indigenous wisdom.

Dr. Kimmerer, an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, is the author of acclaimed books such as Braiding Sweetgrass and Gathering Moss. She has captivated audiences worldwide with her eloquent storytelling and profound reflections on our relationship with the natural world. Drawing upon her expertise as a SUNY Distinguished Professor of Environmental Biology and the founder of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment, she will illuminate the ways in which indigenous perspectives can guide us towards a more harmonious coexistence with nature.
