Ayana Young and her daughter spend their days exploring the wilderness of Coastal Alaska while strategizing ways to halt large scale industrial projects within wild salmon habitat. She is the Co-Founder and Host of For The Wild, an independent slow media project and podcast devoted to land based protection, co-liberation, and the deep work of remembering our place within the living world. Through years of intimate dialogue with visionaries, knowledge keepers, and artists, Ayana brings forth stories that awaken reverence, ignite resistance, and dream toward a future shaped by reciprocity and collective care. Her work is rooted in devotion to the Earth, to truth telling, and to the quiet transformation that comes from listening deeply.
