Artemis Podcast Ep. 1 Annita Lucchesi - WE'RE BACK!
Episode 1
Tuesday, 4 March, 2025
The Artemis Podcast is back! We’re so excited to share stories with you and explore the millions of ways to be a sportswoman. Join Artemis Coordinator Paige McMahon and Artemis Ambassador Megan Plete as they speak with our new program manager, Annita Lucchesi! Artemis, the sportswomen’s initiative at the National Wildlife Federation, recently welcomed Annita Lucchesi as its new program manager. Lucchesi has over a decade of experience advocating for policy at the Tribal, state, and federal levels. Most recently, she served as the founder and executive director of Sovereign Bodies Institute, a community-based research institute focused on gender and sexual violence against Indigenous people. “It’s an honor to serve in this role, especially as a Cheyenne woman. I am fortunate to come from a family and community full of strong advocates for land, water, and wildlife, and I believe hunters and anglers have an important role to play in safeguarding our wildlife and landscapes for the next generation,” Lucchesi said. “My people place a high value on women’s leadership and a close connection to the land, and I am thrilled to honor those teachings by bringing my passion and experience to help Artemis sportswomen become some of the strongest conservation leaders in the nation.” Lucchesi holds a PhD in Geography from the University of Arizona and has nearly two decades of experience as a cartographer. She travels between her Tribal community in southeast Montana and rural northern California, where she grew up and maintains close community ties. She is an avid outdoorswoman who fishes, hikes, and harvests from the land as a way to maintain her cultural traditions as an Indigenous woman. As sportswomen, we don’t fit into any box or stereotype—we embrace being our full, authentic selves. There is no single definition of a sportswoman. Artemis celebrates the million ways to be one and uplifts sportswomen as unique leaders in both the sporting world and conservation. We are a nationwide community reflecting the diversity, leadership, expertise, and sisterhood of women hunters and anglers. Artemis sportswomen encourage one another in their growth and success, modeling women’s leadership in caring for the lands and waters we harvest from and know so well. Join us in elevating sportswomen as leaders in both sporting and conservation! Learn more: https://artemis.nwf.org/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
