Leah Thomas, founder of the Intersectional Environmentalist, speaks eloquently about the importance of understanding interrelated systemic inequities and highlights the extraordinary work of Black environmentalists who have inspired her. In October 2024, podcast host Dana Cowin spoke to Thomas about the challenges of working in the eco space. Leah details the powerful effects of infusing joy and pleasure into transformative efforts. For anyone in search of resources or recommendations on taking first steps as an activist, this conversation is a great place to start.
