Jillian Morris-Brake, acclaimed marine biologist, award-winning underwater photographer, shark conservationist, and founder of Sharks4Kids, has enjoyed working directly with sharks for more than 20 years. She’s on a mission to dismantle fear-based stereotypes that put these majestic, vital ocean dwellers at risk.
Sharks have roamed oceans for more than 450 millions of years (long before trees or dinosaurs existed!), yet ignorance, misconceptions, and fear-mongering films have pushed many shark species to the brink of extinction.
On June 4, 2026, for one hour from sunny Bimini, Bahamas, Jillian shared how education, curiosity, responsible ecotourism, and KIDS are joining forces to rewrite that narrative.
