“Green Girl Leah” or Leah Thomas lent her intersectional take on environmentalism at FIT's annual sustainability forum.
On her book, Thomas said it’s about reframing social justice — and the varying intersections of one’s identity — within the mainstream environmentalist movement.
Thomas hopes readers of her book and followers of The Intersectional Environmentalist platform have this final takeaway: “You never have to separate parts of your identity from your advocacy for the planet. That’s something I felt very deeply whether it’s being a feminist or very proudly embracing my Black identity and culture and advocacy for my people.
“I think that my culture and our cultures flow through our environmental practices whether we know it or not,” she added. “I just want students to take up space and come to the environmental movement as they are.”
