About this listen

 In this podcast episode of 'Finding Hope in the Climate Crisis,' Michelle interviews Francis Roberts Gregory, a feminist political ecologist and environmental anthropologist. Francis shares her journey from her eco-conscious upbringing by a single mother in rural North Carolina and Georgia, her formal education in environmental science, to her extensive work in environmental justice. She discusses her research on black and indigenous women's navigation of environmental issues, participation in UN climate negotiations, and her involvement in ecofeminist coalitions. The conversation touches on environmental racism in North Carolina, her transformative experiences of studying abroad in South Africa, and her ambitions in climate policy advocacy. Both discuss the significance of mentorship, resilience in the face of challenges, and the importance of community and authentic connections in fostering hope. The episode reflects on topics ranging from the personal impacts of environmental injustices to the collective efforts needed to drive meaningful climate action.
