Today we speak with Dionne Ybarra (she/her) from the Wahine Project. The Wahine Project is a non-profit rooted in the mission of increasing accessibility to the ocean for everyone while focusing on reshaping the landscape of equity in ocean recreation and stewardship! Dionne highlights how she came to start the Wahine Project, how the non-profit has changed throughout the years, her personal story and our own personal connections with surfing. We hope you enjoy the episode and that it inspires you to get out there and interact with the ocean in whatever way brings you the most joy.
