As a Sacramento, CA Native, first-generation college graduate and black woman working in natural resources, Sydney Mathis discovered her love of nature and the environment at an early age, which wrote the narrative of her story. Through her vision of becoming a steward of the environment and education alike, Sydney founded Eternal Generation Emerging (EGE) to inspire innovative thinking towards success. EGE is an organization of social enterprise focused on environmental education for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) youth. We encourage youth to explore innovative careers and entrepreneurship in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Math (STEAM)
