Birdgirl & Beyond: Mya-Rose Craig on her memoir, mental health and access to nature for VME young people

Mya-Rose Craig is a 20-year-old British-Bangladeshi birder, race activist and environmentalist campaigning for equal access to nature, to stop climate change and biodiversity loss, and to ensure global climate justice, all of which she believes are closely interlinked. In June 2022 Mya-Rose’s memoir Birdgirl, in which she shares how she found her voice and joy through birding during a deepening family mental health crisis, was published by Vintage Books. 

In this session Mya-Rose will give an insight into her memoir and setting up Black2Nature, a charity which focuses on engaging VME communities with nature. This will be followed by an audience Q&A.
