This is a wonderful article about someone doing precious work. Angelou Ezeilo, thank you for your initiative and gumption. But Dear Gen Dread, I have been finding myself frustrated at the lack of inclusion of Asians/South Asians/Pacific Islanders in the BIPOC discussions of climate change. We are often considered "white adjacent" despite having completely different experiences and inherited stories. We have families that live in states and nations that are disproportionately effected by climate change. But perhaps you have included us in BIPOC discussions in articles I missed?
Thank you so much Kimi for sharing, your frustration is absolutely valid. The representation of your communities has not been good on the newsletter to date. There are some interviews and spotlights in Generation Dread (the book) with people from South Asia and the Pacific Islands, and we've been developing a story for the newsletter with a Pacific Islander recently but there's been some obstacles to that story and it is not yet published. We've also done interviews with people like Tori Tsui (who is from Hong Kong) https://gendread.substack.com/p/the-gifts-of-neurodivergence-sensitivity Really appreciate your feedback so we can keep this in mind to do better.
Another resource readers might be interested in is an upcoming webinar with Dr. Nate Charach on combatting eco-anxiety. He is a psychiatrist that runs eco-anxiety workshops which are free for Ontario Canada residents (covered by OHIP).
