How environmental justice work takes a toll on people of color

“I'm a Black woman with a doctorate in environmental health. For six years, I was the only Black doctoral student in my department.

In post-graduate life, my close network of Black professionals in the environmental field is now slightly larger. It has grown from one to four.

We scrutinize new "clean" beauty products, pass along interesting podcasts, and expand each other's professional connections. Importantly, we provide a safe space to discuss workplace issues.“ - Lariah Edwards
