As someone from a privileged background myself, it’s never my place to speak on behalf of people directly affected by the worst impacts of extreme weather, pollution, and fossil fuel extraction. However, I try hard to help raise up the stories of folks whose work for a more just, equitable, and truly sustainable future is often overlooked by mainstream narratives.
