Imagine a racially just world through a racially just geography. I hope that we organize around not achieving a seat at the GIS table, but making the table obsolete, which would mean sharing the power of mapping directly with the people most affected by mapping. Welcome to the North Star Gaze, a podcast with intimate stories from geoluminaries. We're coming together as a collective to celebrate people of African descent, the diaspora, and talking about geospatial equity and justice. In these one on one chats, you'll explore their journeys and profound contributions to geography and GIS. Each episode offers a telescopic view into their lives to uncover the human side of Geo, where passion meets purpose and racial justice is central. How do we make sure that we're showing what's there? And how the stories that people tell of their own community. Tune in and let the brilliance of these Geo stars guide you. This is us. Sharing our work and the work of the folks who, who do great things, sharing the stories of luminaries in geo spaces, the North Star gaze. Follow the show wherever you listen to podcast. Then explore north star of gis.org for more inspiration to create a racially just world through a racially just geography.
