As the first Black female explorer featured on the cover of National Geographic and the 2022 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year, Tara brings untold history to life with powerful reflection. Her story, also featured in the acclaimed Into the Depths podcast, offers a moving exploration of remembrance, belonging, and the human spirit. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience her story live.
