Climate Wayfinding 🧭 with Dr. Katharine Wilkinson
<p>Today’s conversation is a special one. I’m joined by someone who’s been a collaborator and a dear friend in this work: <strong>Katharine K. Wilkinson</strong>.</p><p>And tomorrow, May 5th, is publication day for Katharine's new book that’s the culmination of the last 5 years of her work — or perhaps of her lifetime. It’s called <a target="_blank" href="http://climatewayfinding.earth/book"><strong>Climate Wayfinding: Healing Ourselves and the Planet We Call Home</strong></a>.</p><p>It’s such an important book because the vast majority of people are concerned about climate change. But a much smaller portion of people are actively engaged in pushing forward solutions. And so much of whether and how we step up and lean in is about our feelings. How do we move from anxiety and dread into something more like, as she puts it, a shimmering purpose?</p><p>If you have questions about your role in climate solutions — how to move from, as the back cover says “ache to action, from doubt to possibility” — Climate Wayfinding will help you navigate toward answers. Let’s be honest, we all have these questions! So, head on over to your local independent bookstore and and pick up Katherine’s book in all its periwinkle glory, or request it from your local library.</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>Katharine’s article in TIME Magazine: <a target="_blank" href="https://time.com/6071765/what-can-i-do-to-fight-climate-change/">The Climate Crisis Is a Call to Action. These 5 Steps Helped Me Figure Out How to Be of Use</a>.</p><p>This podcast is ad-free thanks to the support of <a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/redirect/3cf78fed-f871-4787-a4b8-75333ad7cae8?j=eyJ1IjoiMjRiODluIn0.tW7wW07aeaqgJXePpjaiGOs74nDBzQY25CXTKdi2qg4">Future Being</a>, a grant making and special project studio, which supports the healing of our planet and the safeguarding of biological and cultural diversity.This episode was produced by Remoy Philip and myself with support from Jenisha Shrestha.</p><p>Alright, earthlings. You know the motto: Take climate change seriously, but let’s not take ourselves too seriously.</p><p></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to WHAT IF WE GET IT RIGHT? at <a href="https://ayanaelizabeth.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">ayanaelizabeth.substack.com/subscribe</a>

An Ocean Love Story 🐠
<p>In the spirit of the <strong>What If We Get It Right?</strong> paperback launch, sharing an excerpt of the audiobook. The heart of this audiobook is 20 interviews with people who have shaped my understanding of the answer to the titular question. It’s kind of like a whole season of a podcast packaged up with essays by me and poetry by others. Also, ahem, the audiobook was a finalist for the Audie Award. (If you’re gonna lose, lose to Stephen King.)</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/645855/what-if-we-get-it-right-by-ayana-elizabeth-johnson/"><strong>Order the full audiobook here</strong></a>.</p><p>The prelude, the first chapter, is “<strong>An Ocean Love Story</strong>.” It’s about how I fell in love with coral reefs at 5 years old, and how the ripples that flowed from that have shaped the unfurling of my life ever since.</p><p>This chapter is my origin story, in brief. From Brooklyn, New York, to Key West, Florida, to Washington, DC, and the Caribbean. It's one of the most personal things I’ve ever published. A little funny. A lot honest. It’s the start of my quest to understand how we, humans, can get it as right as possible here on this magnificent planet. And I wouldn’t be surprised if it has similarities with your story, too. </p><p>____</p><p><strong>CREDITS:</strong> This podcast is ad-free thanks to the support of Future Being, a grant making and special project studio which supports the healing of our planet and the safeguarding of biological and cultural diversity. This episode was produced by Remoy Philip and me, Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, with support from Jenisha Shrestha. The original audiobook was produced by Olivia Langen for Penguin Random House audio, recorded at Expanding Sky Studios in Brunswick, Maine.</p><p>____</p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://ayanaelizabeth.substack.com"><strong>Subscribe</strong></a> to the WHAT IF WE GET IT RIGHT? newsletter.</p><p></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to WHAT IF WE GET IT RIGHT? at <a href="https://ayanaelizabeth.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">ayanaelizabeth.substack.com/subscribe</a>
