climate justice advocate
Projects
Projects and initiatives focus on the connections between climate and social justice - for life on Earth.
Along with co-creator and co-host Adriana Maria Medina, Tania discusses issues pertaining to marginalized and underserved communities with the goal of finding ways to collectively heal and inspire others to take justice-oriented action.
Tania has participated in The 50 Percent's Storytelling Fellowship, Sentient Media's journalist classes, and other courses to improve her work in climate communications. She combines cultures, languages (English and Spanish), and research to promote climate solutions.
Read Our Blue Home (on page 12), Tania's poem published by Roots to see an example.
Advocacy
From small groups of five people to audiences of more than 100 individuals, Tania has presented online and in-person for environmental nonprofits, youth-led initiatives, community-led projects, and more. Presentation topics range from policy, the human connection to nature, and environmental justice.
Earth Photography
While spending time outdoors, such as by hiking or snorkeling, Tania takes pictures of wild animals, plants, fungi, and landscapes. Nature photography captures the details we may otherwise miss, demonstrating the beautiful complexity of the natural world. Tania uses it as a tool to inspire others to take action for our planet.
