BIPOC voices (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) have been typically excluded from mainstream environmental movements, yet are crucial to building stronger, healthier, and more sustainable communities. For our first episode, we are in conversation with Climate Recentered, a climate action group created with the aim of reshaping the white narrative of climate organizing, centering joy over shame, and building a community of care. Climate Recentered was created by four BIPOC youth from so-called Surrey, British Columbia. Today, we are joined by a core member, Zoha Faisal, who shares her experiences navigating eco-anxiety, learning from intergenerational stories, and building supportive, loving communities.

Guest Bio:
Zoha Faisal (she/her) is a second generation Pakistani settler, going into grade 11 this September. She started her journey in the climate movement when she joined her highschool’s Green Team. Since then, she’s become involved with other youth climate justice organizations and focuses on bringing community, hope, and joy into her work.
