    Intersectional Environmentalism with Leah Thomas

    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.
