The BlackAFinSTEM Collective

Greetings! We can't believe over a month has passed since we concluded #BlackBirdersWeek. While the week celebration of programming may be over, our engagement with this community remains as joyful and vibrant as ever.

Firstly, we want to extend a sincere thank you to our partners, sponsors, and supporters. Without your financial and logistical support, we could not have executed the programming we set out to achieve. You saw the value in our mission, and we are deeply grateful for your trust.

Secondly, we give a huge thanks to our phenomenal planning team. You managed to put together another amazing event week, navigating complexities with grace and ensuring that every detail was in place. Your creativity and dedication are the heart of this organization.

We also want to give a special thank you to our virtual guests who joined us throughout the week. Your expertise, stories, and willingness to share your time with our community enriched our programming and inspired so many. We are honored that you chose to be part of this journey with us.

Finally, and most importantly, we thank you, the Black Birder community. Your passion for birds and the natural world is a beacon of light. Your willingness to show up, share your experiences, and find sustained joy in nature reminds us why this work is so critical. We are not just birders; we are a movement.

We are far from done...stay tuned for updates on our summer events and engagement opportunities. There is definitely more to come. We have exciting programming in the works for the rest of 2026, and we cannot wait to share it with you. Keep your eyes on our channels, and let's keep making the outdoors a space of belonging for us all.

Warmly,
Black AF in STEM Collective
