Memoir project

Catalyzed by a series of extraordinary events that began in 2020, this memoir (in progress) tells the story of how my understanding of love and knowledge were irrevocably transformed on the landscape.

Other Projects

Below is a snapshot of resources, tools, and experiences Kaitlin produced in the context of past projects. Many remain available online!

Public Place-Based Education Bridging science + Humanities

Kaitlin founded Storied Grounds (2021-2024) through which she offered innovative place-based educational experiences that fostered connection to place through folk knowledge practices and humanistic ideas. During this time, she worked with organizations including national not-for-profit Outdoor Afro, the Brookline Bird Club, and the Student Center at Harvard Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Program examples include "Acorns and Octavia: Embodying Afrofuturism," "Black Celestial Connections: Remembering Nat Turner,” and "Welcome to Elfland: A Quirky Somerville Walking Tour."

Note: Kaitlin plans to revive public-facing, place-based events in conjunction with the release of her memoir.

Knowledge Management Tools for nature Lovers + Outdoor Educators

Kaitlin released the GaiaHub product suite in 2022 to address the learning, planning, and knowledge management needs of fellow nature enthusiasts including herbalists, foragers, naturalists, and place-based educators.
