As the government affairs coordinator at the National Audubon Society in Washington, D.C., Tykee James has a special role—organizing bird walks with members of Congress and congressional staff. Birding has been important to Tykee ever since he started as a teen in Philadelphia. Last year, after a racist incident against a Black birder in New York’s Central Park, he and fellow birders decided to create Black Birders Week. They had only hours to organize the event, which included using social media to reveal a whole world of birding by people of color. During that week, the #BlackBirdersWeek campaign had more than 600 million impressions on social media sites. It also generated national press coverage. Tykee joins us to talk about the incredibly successful campaign and the need to tell stories about Black experiences that go beyond narratives of trauma. He also shares his plans for this year’s Black Birders Week.
