<p>In this episode, we meet with Sanjana Sekhar - Sanjana is an author, filmmaker, and climate activist on a mission to make climate action the hottest place to be. Her work amplifies “thrutopian” stories with a lens on climate justice, radical imagination, and Adrienne Maree Brown’s “pleasure activism.” As the founder of GARMI, a climate newsletter and creative studio, she leverages systems-thinking storytelling to reclaim extractive narratives and world-build towards a healthy human future on Earth. Sanjana has been featured in Grist’s Imagine 2200 Climate Fiction Anthology, the Hollywood Climate Summit, and the Webby Honorees, and she’s worked with organizations such as the Center for Cultural Power, Visit California, and The Washington Post. She is based in LA on Tongva land.</p> <ul> <li>We learn about using powerful emotions as a catalyst for change and growth</li> <li>We learn about radical acceptance and compassion to navigate the climate crisis</li> <li>We learn how building connections and fostering a sense of community is crucial for collective action</li> </ul> <p>Follow and connect with Sanjana on socials:  Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sanj___/" rel="nofollow">s a n j a n a (@sanj___) </a> LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjana-sekhar/" rel="nofollow">Sanjana Sekhar | LinkedIn</a></p> <p>Check out and sign up for GARMI:  <a href="https://www.garmi.studio/" rel="nofollow">GARMI | sensusal socioecology</a></p> <p>Check out Sanjanas website: <a href="https://www.sanjanasekhar.com/" rel="nofollow">Sanjana Sekhar | author, filmmaker, climate storyteller</a></p>
