Poet. Public speaker. Writer. Entrepreneur. Diandra Marizet Esparza wears a lot of hats. But it’s her work as a globally-recognized leader in the environmental movement that’s truly inspiring. As the co-founder of Intersectional Environmentalist, a non-profit climate justice collective, Diandra has helped cement culture, art, and storytelling as powerful tools for environmental advocacy.

In this episode, Diandra discusses everything from the origins of intersectionality (0:55) to examples of intersectional environmentalism (4:18) and its role as a form of social accountability (8:25). She also shares her journey from the fashion industry to the environmental space (14:55), her core values in building her organization (22:10), and how she’s shepherded it through many changing business models (27:35). But it’s her thoughts on reframing products as offerings (36:28) that may resonate most strongly with entrepreneurs and creator educators, along with her advice about identifying your own “offering” and turning it into something that can benefit others (37:23)
