I first came across Parker McMullen Bushman on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her energy.

It made me ask, “what is kween werk?” Then, I saw that she was a hiker like I am – and I was hooked.

Take a listen to our extensive chat on systemic racism, environmental injustice, and how Parker uses social media to share that message in this episode of Very Vogue with Val Kleinhans.

Parker is truly doing the work that queens do. Love it! For more on what she does, follow her on social media and her website.

I’m starting to put a few of these episodes on my YouTube channel as well, and I’ve been loving it! I hope you do too. Here’s the video version of our chat below.
