Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust: CREA Speaker Series
Join us as we learn about the perspectives of young Changemakers with Sulwan Ahmed and Ray Mills. Sulwan (she/her) is a first-generation Sudanese-American refugee in Portland, ME whose passion for environmental justice is deeply connected to her identity as a displaced person. Ray (she/they) is a Wabanaki and Franco-American woman from Oxford County, ME whose passion for the environment stems from the lessons she learned from her family about maintaining a reciprocal relationship with the land.
During this conversation, we will explore how two people from such different backgrounds have found themselves working together as Changemakers Residents for The Nature Conservancy in Maine and the Maine Environmental Education Association. This residency program aims to address career gaps in environmental organizations by providing two-year residency positions for people who self-identify as coming from a background underrepresented in the sector. We will explore how our current relationships with the land are influenced by our pasts and how we are all connected through the soil beneath our feet."
