After telling her own story of finding joy and fulfillment in climate work after personal tragedy, Grace interviews the friends she’s made through her years as a climate activist—students, professors, organizers, lawyers, activists on the front lines, engineers, and more. What emerges is an intimate look at the grief and joy of leaning into the climate fight and the beauty of standing shoulder to shoulder with friends to face an existential threat.

While leading this charge, Grace speaks about Exxon Mobil at the forefront of climate science — spinning its narrative web that entangles any space from broadcasting and universities, to legislation. Grace also discusses her work with the UBC Climate Hub, and the integral role that youth (as well as Indigenous and racialized people) have in this movement of anti-capitalist defiance. She and Am also speak about overcoming eco-anxieties, the importance of making a small day-to-day difference that can ‘ripple outward,’ and Grace’s belief in Pleasure Activism. They end this interview with a brief discussion of Grace’s inspiration to write her hopeful young adult climate fantasy series, Ava of the Gaia.
