SUMMARY:Birds\, Culture\, and the Freedom of Belonging: A Celebration with Makeda & Marilú
DESCRIPTION:San Diego Bird Festival 2026 Keynote:\n\nFor over 13 years\, Makeda Cheatom of the WorldBeat Center and Marilú of Celebrate Urban Birds have walked a shared path—one where birds\, culture\, history\, and science come together in joyful connection. What began as a citizen science project has grown into a community-led celebration of belonging\, where people of all backgrounds come together to explore nature\, share knowledge\, and engage with science in meaningful ways.\nWe’ve learned that birding can be so much more than counting birds. It’s a chance to slow down\, be present\, listen deeply\, and connect with the wisdom of our ancestors\, the communities around us\, and with ourselves. By bridging communities and scientific institutions\, we create spaces where people can actively participate in\, contribute to\, and use science—while celebrating culture\, heritage\, and identity.\n\nFrom the Harriet Tubman Freedom Bird Walks during Juneteenth to cross-cultural collaborations in Baja\, our work shows what’s possible when music\, art\, science\, gardening\, and community come together with curiosity\, care\, and purpose. Join us as we share how this journey has transformed the way we bird\, connect with each other\, and experience the freedom of belonging.
