Hey well read baddies! In this minisode, we’re joined by Abigail Franks and Mareshah Malcom—the dynamic duo behind Climate Justice Y’all—for a conversation that flips the script on environmentalism as we know it.

Together, we explore the real meaning of climate justice, how systemic inequality fuels the crisis, and why Southern communities are not just surviving but leading the charge. From eco-villages and resilience hubs to the role of storytelling and Southern identity, Abby and Mareshah remind us that climate work isn’t just policy—it’s people, power, and radical care.

Whether you're just starting your climate journey or looking for new ways to stay hopeful, this is the minisode for you.
