We had the privilege of speaking with a visionary of our times, Teju Adisa-Farrar. In this episode, we discuss intersectional environmentalism, eco apartheid, and how imagining a future outside of the capitalist system is a form of resistance.

Her interdisciplinary work focuses on connecting the dots between environmental, social, cultural, and ecological issues.
