Climate Storytelling

I love what I do because…

…I love people. And places. And getting to tell the story of how different communities are confronting a planet-wide crisis is both a way to engage with people and places, while doing my small bit to protect them.

…I’m a believer that solutions need as much attention as problems, and when you don’t present solutions, you end up creating a sense of fatalism and helplessness. The few but powerful people who profit from destroying the planet benefit greatly when we give in to that fatalism.

…I’ve always had a hard time choosing just one thing to be interested in. But climate touches everything! From local foods to traditional instruments to wildlife and customs and festivals.

…honestly, it’s fun. The climate crisis can be heavy and anxiety-inducing. I am even more concerned about it because I know by name people who are directly harmed by it. But I am also a big believer in the determination and innovation I’ve seen in communities all over the place.

So thankful I get to make a life from storytelling!
