Who We Are
Danielle M. Jones (she/her)
Weaver
Danielle’s background is in experiential and culturally-responsive nature education, mindful practices and equity work. Unknowingly, she has been building up to this project since childhood and proudly draws on the legacy of earth-connection from her ancestors. The term “weaver” is a recognition that none of the pieces she is bringing together are new but that these beautiful and intersectional ways of being and knowing will allow us to better embrace ourselves and our community.
