Edited by Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Dr. Katharine K. Wilkinson, 'All We Can Save' is an anthology that highlights the diverse voices of women in the environmental movement. The book is divided into eight sections: Root, Advocate, Reframe, Reshape, Persist, Feel, Nourish, and Rise. It features contributions from scientists, journalists, farmers, lawyers, teachers, activists, and innovators, all of whom are working to address the climate crisis. The collection emphasizes the importance of a feminine and feminist approach to climate leadership, stressing the need for compassion, connection, creativity, and collaboration. It serves as both a balm and a guide, providing hope and practical solutions for navigating the climate emergency[1][3][5].
In 'The Sum of Us,' Heather McGhee explores the pervasive impact of racism on American society, arguing that it is a systemic issue that harms not only people of color but also white people. She documents how policies and practices rooted in racism have led to economic disparities, such as student debt, housing crises, and lack of accessible healthcare. McGhee also introduces the concept of the 'Solidarity Dividend,' which suggests that gains can be achieved when people come together across racial lines. Through personal stories, historical examples, and economic research, McGhee presents a compelling case for why addressing racism is essential for the prosperity of all Americans.
Yep -- it’s detective work! But instead of crime scenes, environmental scientist, marine biologist and Forensic Ecologist Dr. Tiara Moore travels the world to sample the sea and the soil looking for the ghosts of larvae past, whispers of frog spit, fungal traces in loamy soil, and the unseen forces that lead to algal blooms and toxic tides. She also is the CEO of #BlackInMarineScience week, which is NOW: Nov. 28-Dec. 04! Follow that hashtag and see the events link below and buckle your life jacket to a spirited chat about finding your calling on tropical seas, labwork, forest fungus, Missy Elliot, sedimentary soil science, straight up racism, the state of allyship, marine science careers, and whether or not she may have found evidence of Bigfoot. I mean.
