Erin Monahan wasn’t finding media she wanted to read and consume when she became more involved with environmental politics and the outdoor industry through rock climbing back in 2015. She started Terra Incognita Media with the intent on building a feminist platform, but quickly received feedback that her approach was embroiled in white feminism. After confronting her whiteness, some heavy learning and unlearning (of which is ongoing), and the implementation of a dedicated anti-racist practice, her intentions began to more closely match her desired impact.

Terra has gone through many overhauls and evolutions, and will continue to evolve and grow.

Today, Erin is joined by Christina Torres, founder of Cyclista Zine, and Shiloah Williams.

Terra Incognita Media is an independent, feminist media outlet supported solely by our readers who want to burn down oppressive systems and build something new just as much as we do. This is our contribution to a feminist future that is anti-patriarchal, anti-white supremacist, anti-capitalist, and anti-imperialist.
