Homeward bound (HB) news! Check out the list of the expeditioners in the last Homeward bound voyage to Antarctica in 194 days: https://lnkd.in/e4rDXW78. Please, consider supporting the participant you feel closer to, and even better, liaise with me/them to co-create actions with a positive impact on the planet and societies.
As mentioned in previous posts, I am not just the only scientist of Galician descent in this edition, but the first one in a HB expedition, and my origins and Galician people have been represented even on my application back in October 2022. Since Team HB8 was created in March 2023, I have put so much effort, time, energy, creativity, passion and determination on my journey and my purpose, even outside of my comfort zone (i.e., making myself visible), that I must recognise, feel tired and challenged in both positive and negative ways. I have done this alongside my job and volunteer commitments (and life), and met wonderful people that have inspired/taught me in different ways. No matter how busy, sick and tired, I will always have willpower to liaise with various people to produce positive outcomes in the face of global grand challenges, from inequities to the climate crisis (if you know me, you will probably know about my stubbornness).
Please do reach out to maximize my participation in the expedition to Antarctica by taking your petition with me. Or contact me to collaborate (not necessarily professionally) in shaping ideas together for collective impact. Last, please do consider supporting me on the great economical investment I am taking to make this possible, by connecting me to sponsors, helping me out with fundraisers aligned with my values and objectives, or contributing to my crowdfunding. Where I come from, the latter is not common, it is even weird (and taking a physical or attention-grabbing challenge for this is not relatable). Therefore, supporting me (a migrant renting with a fixed-term job, a working class background and from an underserved population) will mean you are contributing to equity. I know, I am privileged in comparison with many, but we are in 2024 and we have a very long journey ahead so that people like me (unprivileged in their immediate context) are not limited by their historical context and can be in a position to build bridges connecting with the most unprivileged globally (while we make room for everyone and send privilege to history books).
