#Repost @brownenvironmentalist (@get_repost)・・・Good morning y’all! ☀️.Firstly: This post was originally meant for yesterday but! life happens. The above is an interesting statement to make because it is often stated/used without the greater context of the fact that BIPOC are the ones doing the most about it, too. Thoughts? Or perhaps, what would be a more empowering way to say the above?.Secondly:I just wanted to acknowledge the kindness we received yesterday since we began this. This is a reflection of the great community we are all a part of, and it’s what inspired this account to even be created in the first place. Thank you all again. Your support means so much. ❤️❤️❤️ So excited for the journey to begin. #BrownEnvironmentalist.— — — — — — — 3/3 Hi y’all! This is a new, collaborative and long-form journalism project by POC to destroy the white-dominated narrative over environment / nature / outdoors and environmentalism as a whole. .The inspiration comes mostly from the lack of attention given to BIPOC and the work they do for the planet. We are the original “environmentalists”, the original eco-warriors, and yet the narrative is centered around white Americans’ history, voice, thought, etc. ( #wypipo ).The goal is to chronicle the experiences of POC around the world who are in some way fighting for their communities via the exploration of current and past BIPOC work. The history and information exists. We seek to bring it all together and make it known..Ultimately, this is a long delayed response to personal experiences in the environmental field — as an ecologist, as a youth educator, as an activist, as an admirer of nature, as a first-generation Latinx American — and it’s my/our hope that this project will foster discussion, growth, healing, and fuel for your daily life..Share, follow, and tag. Thank you for your support. #BrownEnvironmentalist— — — — — — — ----#diversifyyourfeed #ecology #LatinX #latino #latinoutdoors #followus #diversifyoutdoors #BGWB #guanaco #criticalecology #fightforyourrights #uclagrad #ucla #theworldisyours #peopleofcolor #melanin #melaninass #coloredoutdoors #nature #peopleofcolor #BIPOC #indigenous #firstpo -- source link
