'We’ve always been a part of environmental history, but seldom have our stories told and amplified,' explains Leahtommi. Here are the five Black women environmentalists she wants you to know:

Betty Reid Soskin poses for a portrait at the Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park in 2013.In March 2022, just a few weeks shy of her retirement, I went to meet with Park RangerAt 100 years of age, not only was Betty the oldest full-time National Parks Service ranger, but also one of few Black women in the field—a part of Black American environmental history.

She became a Park Ranger at 85 after working as a writer, singer, and civil rights activist. Working at the Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front park, Betty helped educate visitors on the history of Black Americans in the Bay Area of California during WWII. There are many reasons why Betty is an environmental hero, but I particularly admire her courageousness to begin anew at 85 and dedicate her time to diversifying the stories told at National Parks.

It’s time to talk about Vogue’s article (linked). Saying women should “believe women - all women” is the same as saying men should believe all men. Since when do we blindly believe an entire gender population without considering the facts? DeppVsHeard
