S1E34: Forging New Trails in Climate Activism: Kristy Drutman and Brown Girl Green, Book Launch Special
What happens when you graduate wanting to save the world, but everyone keeps telling you there's no money in environmental work? Kristy Drutman faced that exact dilemma at UC Berkeley - diving into anti-fracking activism at 18, only to burn out when her immigrant mother questioned why she was skipping class for unpaid work that wouldn't pay the bills.

In this raw conversation, she reveals the harsh reality of environmental careers: the lack of people who look like her in leadership, the expectation to survive on unpaid internships, and why she had to build her own path instead of following traditional routes.
Kristy shares how she went from frustrated activist to creator of Browngirl Green and the Green Jobs Board, redefining what "green jobs" can be and who gets to have them.
If you've ever felt torn between doing meaningful work and financial stability, or wondered how to turn your values into a viable career when there's no clear roadmap, Kristy's journey will show you that sometimes the best path is the one you create yourself.
