Here’s Hoping, hosted by Grammy nominate music producer and DJ Jayda G is a podcast that explores the theme of hope, when we need it, how we find it and why we still have reasons to feel it. We explore guests’ personal journeys with hope, how they’ve formed and navigated the three pillars of having hope - goals, agency and pathway. An environmental toxicologist scientist as well, Jayda recently released her first documentary Blue Carbon on CNN and identified the need to dive further into the theme of hope, with this podcast coming at a time when it is needed most. In the series, Jayda will be speaking to a range of amazing guests, from sustainable fashion pioneers, Ocean conservation scientists, community-focused Grime artists, to people living on the frontlines of climate change, her own family and more.

Intersectional Environmentalism with Leah Thomas
In this episode I talk to Leah all about what intersectional environmentalism is and why environmental activism has to take race and other identities into consideration. We also talk about the importance of community to have hope why Leah started her music gathering Earth Sessions to provide the gathering and faith that people struggle to find if they aren’t religious. We also share our experiences and opinions on social media, when it can be positive and support your sense of hope and when it is detrimental. We also have a fascinating discussion about the intersection of gender, nature and the environment, and how we need to break out of gender binaries to cultivate true environmental awareness, care and action, in all.
