The Hidden Cost of Sustainability: How Race, Class, Privilege & Power Shape the Climate Movement
Description
The inspiring and passionate environmental educator, activist, and creator of @queerbrownvegan , Isaias Hernandez joins Shreya Ghodawat for a no-holds-barred conversation about what climate justice means at the intersections of identity, access, and activism.
Known for his nuanced approach, he digs into how being a queer, brown environmentalist shapes his perspective and his work, pushing past the surface of mainstream narratives.
Emphasising on the connections between environmental and social justice, we’re focusing on how environmental issues disproportionately affect marginalised communities.
Together we explore environmental racism, India’s overlooked climate challenges, and the daily realities of those on the frontlines of environmental chaos.
In this episode of Sustainable Tea with Shreya, Isaias Hernandez discusses with Shreya the challenges and complexities of being a changemaker in today's world, his identity as a queer, brown environmentalist, and how it shapes his activism, environmental racism, debunking wealth myths in veganism, and India’s overlooked climate change issues.
Watch now for a deep and inspiring conversation about identity, environmental justice, and collective healing.
