SUMMARY:Movie projection of "Mardi and the Whites" and fireside conversation with Mardi Fuller
DESCRIPTION:Mardi has a rich relationship with nature that has evolved and 
 deepened throughout her life. In the last 20 years she’s dedicated much 
 of her time to exploring the landscape in the White Mountains 
 (unfortunately coined “The Whites” by New Englanders) on Abenaki land. 
 In that time\, Mardi summited all forty-eight 4\,000-footers multiple 
 times\, often as the only Black person on the mountain. She has experienced 
 great joy from communing with this landscape\, but the overwhelmingly white 
 hiking community that is so seeped in white supremacy and colonialism 
 complicates her experiences. Recently\, she has focused on creating more 
 opportunities for Black folks to join her in appreciating this magnificent 
 wilderness. Enjoying this land with her community has been a liberating 
 balm that has strengthened her sense of identity as an 
 outdoorswoman.\n\n“Mardi & the whites” is a peek into Mardi’s 
 relationship with the White Mountains\, the great outdoors\, and the 
 community that surrounds them\; Above all\, it’s a celebration of Black 
 liberation in the wild.\n\nAbout Mardi Fuller:\nMardi Fuller advocates for 
 racial equity through writing\, speaking and community building.  A 
 lifelong backcountry adventurer\, she lives in Boston where she works as a 
 freelance writer\, marketing expert and DEI consultant. She is a 
 contributing writer to Outside magazine\, SKI magazine\, NRDC\, Melanin 
 Basecamp and more and serves on the board of the Appalachian Mountain 
 Club.\n\n \n\nThis program is kindly sponsored by the Milton Cultural 
 Council and is free and open to all. Please join us.
