Today on Black Women Amplified, we’re diving into the extraordinary journey of Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant—wildlife ecologist, storyteller, and history-maker. She’s breaking barriers as the first Black woman to host Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, stepping into a space long dominated by white male adventurers and making it her own.
Dr. Wynn-Grant’s love for the wild started young, but the road to getting here wasn’t easy. In her powerful memoir, WILD LIFE: Finding My Purpose in an Untamed World, she takes us from her city roots in San Francisco and Norfolk to the most rugged, breathtaking landscapes on the planet. Her story is one of perseverance, passion, and purpose—a reminder that nature belongs to all of us.
We’ll talk about the challenges she’s faced, the impact of her work, and what it means to forge your path in a world that often says you don’t belong. This is a conversation about resilience, representation, and the deep connection between humanity and the natural world.
So, get ready to be inspired. Let’s amplify her voice and celebrate this incredible journey together.
