Proud to say that I know two of the featured #climate activists on the cover of January's Vogue Magazine alongside billie eilish. To Wawa Gatheru of blackgirlenvironmentalist and Isaias of Isaias Hernandez, keep on shining, the work you both are doing is indispensable!

"One of the most important parts of the environmental justice movement is the ability to create self-determination for those who have been most impacted by environmental harm, and allow people to have a say," says blackgirlenvironmentalist's arielle v king. axios.com/2023/02/20/bla…

DID YOU KNOW The climate crisis is not gender neutral? Women & girls, especially Black women & girls, experience the greatest effects of climate change, which amplifies existing gender and racial inequalities & makes them more vulnerable to environmental challenges. 1/2

From being told that “Black people don’t care about the environment” at 18 to leading a national org that creates space for Black women and femme identifying individuals to experience JOY in the climate space at 24. Happy freaking 🌍 month ❤️ We are here to stay.
