Inclusivity in Nature
Lukeisha is passionate about sharing her love for nature and is leading the Wild Roots team in creating space to empower diverse voices!
Lukeisha grew up in the small village of Diamonds, on the beautiful island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. As a child, Lukeisha spent most of her time playing outdoors, getting her knees bruised and making memories in nearby banana and coconut fields and streams.
Lukeisha holds a Bachelor’s degree in Library and Information Studies from the University of the West Indies Mona Jamaica. She is a certified Forest School Practitioner and a Shadow Facilitator for the Child and Nature Alliance of Canada.
Register for the Wild Roots BIPOC Forest School program today!
According to a report commissioned by Nature Canada, nature spaces are often seen as "white spaces" by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour) youth.
In an effort to make nature a welcoming and safe space for racialized communities, Lukeisha and Wild Roots, in collaboration with Black Parents of Ottawa, have launched a BIPOC Forest School Program for children ages 4-10 years.
