Initially training as a lawyer, Jess worked on shark conservation at Humane Society International and most recently on climate change communications. Jess uses her art, comics and 'info-toons' to explain and drive people to take action on climate and environmental issues, and has had her work featured by the BBC, ABC and in The Guardian. Jess' artworks have been used in many climate change organisations and campaigns, including the Climate Council, the Fight for the Reef campaign, and by the Gas Free Hunter Alliance.
Get ready for an incredible discussion!

About Not To Be Controversial
From the publisher's feed
Hi, we are Varsha and Tiara! We devised our podcast for educative and entertainment purposes as we aim to open discussions surrounding current affairs, politics, mental health, moral/ethical debate, pop culture and much more.
As two south Asian women in 2023, we evaluate and explain topics from the perspective of second generation immigrant daughters, and aim to tackle taboo topics in our culture, as well as diversify outlooks via the perspectives of our guests.
