Parker is a dynamic speaker that engages audiences in new thinking around what it means to be a diversity change agent, an inclusive conservation leader and building capacity for transformational change. Parker’s background in the education, conservation, outdoor recreation and interpretive fields spans over 23+ years. Parker’s interest in diversity, equity and inclusion issues developed from her personal experiences facing the drastic lack of diversity in environmental organizations and green spaces.

- Inclusive Journeys aims to lead by example to demonstrate another world is possible. Through action, education, and economic incentive, our work will shift the world toward inclusion in order to end structural oppression in all of its manifestations, including racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, capitalism, settler colonialism, and patriarchy in their external and internalized forms.
- Ecoinclusive provides training and resources for leadership at non-profits, cultural and environmental organizations to aid them in building a culturally diverse and culturally competent staff that reflects the populations that they serve.
- Summit for Action is a yearly event for thought-provoking discussions and solutions-based recommendations for Justice, Equity, Diversity, Accessibility and Inclusion. The Summit for Action model brings together a variety of community leaders and key stakeholders to develop shared understanding around the steps needed to inspire and drive social change around Equity, Accessibility and Inclusion issues. The vision of Summit for Action is to be a catalyst for action that creates a more equitable world. This is done through facilitating dialogue and creating cross-sector partnerships to tackle these complex social problems.
- KWEEN WERK– KWEEN WERK is dedicated to disrupting the narrative that only white able-bodied people care about the environment and participate in outdoor recreation activities. KWEEN stands for Keep Widening Environmental Engagement Narratives. At KWEEN WERK we are challenging traditional representations of what it means to be outdoorsy by showing a variety of bodies engaged in outdoor spaces. Bodies of size, BIPOC bodies, Gender non-conforming bodies, Bodies with disabilities, etc. all deserve equal representation in the narratives we communicate about outdoor engagement.
