Why Chosen

I'm intentionally seeking out work by women of color writing about the environment - not just for the sake of representation, but because these voices bring essential perspectives that are too often overlooked. Their work tends to be rooted in community, justice, and lived experience, offering insights we desperately need in the climate movement. This isn't about identity alone - it's about broadening the conversation to include the people already leading some of the most creative and courageous environmental work.
