About Hot Topic: Jessica Sele Talks About Climate Change For Some Reason
Nobody usually wants to think, talk or hear about climate change so Jessica Sele decided to dedicate a whole podcast to broaching this huge bummer. While not taking it too lightly but not being so heavy handed as to give guests, listeners or herself anxiety attacks, she offers an earnest attempt to get at what is going on in our hearts while we destroy the planet.
In the hopefully final days of my personal lockdown I offer reflections on the past year and what I've learned about what a toxic person I am and why acknowledging that makes me feel better. While on the verge of an episode long asthma attack, I discuss intersectionality and why divesting from whiteness and colonialism will help heal the planet and ourselves.
