Mikaela Loach is a climate justice activist, co-host of The Yikes Podcast, and medical student based in Edinburgh.

Her work focuses on making activism spaces more inclusive and accessible, and as a Black woman, she is especially passionate about the importance of anti-racism work in the climate and sustainability movements.

In this podcast episode, Mikaela sheds light on the dangers of what can happen when white supremacy seeps into environmental activism; how narratives framing global population growth as environmental harms can perpetuate racism and economic injustice while overlooking the actual roots of our ecological breakdown; and more.
