Isaias Hernandez is the creator of Queer Brown Vegan where he makes accessible environmental education content. As a Queer, Brown, and Vegan environmentalist, he seeks to provide a safe space for other like-minded environmentalists to engage in the discourse of the current climate crisis. On this episode we discussed his journey to doing this work, how veganism, social justice, and environmentalism all intersect and are impacted by white supremacy culture, and how we all can do a better job at speaking to these topics.
