In this conversation (the first of two parts) oral historian, filmmaker, and GenGND story consultant Maggie Lemere speaks with Samoan youth climate activist Brianna Fruean and Thelma Young-Lutunatabua of 350.org. Brianna and Thelma launched a newsletter and online space called Radical Reimagining, which tries to look beyond the potential dystopias in our future and instead look at the ways in which a better world is possible, and look for communities where it is already starting to emerge. This conversation touches on how the two of them became activists, what activism looks like in the Pacific Islands, and finding hope and joy in difficult times.
