In this episode of the Barrie Rose podcast, I talk with Alex (aka @the_casalmon), a progressive content creator and activist. We talk about her journey, how she uses storytelling and street interviews to connect with people, and why grassroots movements matter. We get into local activism, mental health in social justice work, and the power of personal conversations—and yes, we even figure out that trees are actually gay! It’s a fun, insightful convo about building community while fighting for change.
