This week on How to Make Climate Change Sexy, I’m joined by Arielle King, an educator, creative director and strategist based in New York. Her work is centred on finding intersectionality and optimism within climate work. The host of The Joy Report, a podcast about climate solutions through the lens of intersectionality and optimism, Arielle has dedicated over half her life advocating for climate change. She’s also a lecturer who shares her expertise on environmental justice, climate optimism, environmental racism in law and policy, sustainable fashion, and more
In this weeks episode, we discuss how Arielle uses optimism as an uplifting form of resistance in the face of the increasingly anxious landscape of the climate crisis. From discussing joy as an active choice, to how radical it can be as a tool for climate discussions, we draw attention to youth-led movements using these strategies for success. Arielle presents a powerful vision as to what a sustainable future could look like! Through her positivity she images a future powered by equity and community centric care.
