This is Climate Justice Y'all, a podcast dedicated to lifting up and centering the climate and environmental justice movement in the South. Despite the South being the most biodiverse, diverse, and one of the largest economic engines in the world, we are underfunded and often barred from the decision-making table. Because of that, we decided to pull up a chair and amplify the stories of communities in the South hit the hardest by the climate crisis. We’re using good ol’ fashion storytelling to shine a spotlight on these Southern leaders from all walks of life putting in their blood, sweat, and tears to transform the region. The usage of Y'ALL in the title is on purpose-- we are honoring our Southern heritage of creativity, resilience and ingenuity. Climate Justice Y'ALL: it’s real, it’s here, it’s about time.

S5E5: Environment and Entrepreneurship with Tamara Toles O'Laughlin
In a world impacted by climate change and uncontrolled growth and extraction, actions and careers that deal with moving money, building businesses, and expanding nonprofits, at first glance, feels counterintuitive to acting on climate change. However, there are many people, especially those representing marginalized groups, whose entrepreneurship is dedicated to building up communities and stewarding quote, “an ecosystem of opportunity”.
In this episode, we hear from Tamara Toles O'Laughlin, President and CEO of the Environmental Grantmakers Association as she talks about what it means to be an environmental entrepreneur in today's climate.
“Lets build things that outlast us, and communities are the best invention we’ve got" - Tamara Toles O'Laughlin
