Can grief spark global change?
In this powerful episode of Normalize The Conversation, climate justice leader and author Abby Reyes shares the story behind her memoir, Truth Demands: A Memoir of Murder, Oil Wars, and the Rise of Climate Justice.
After losing her partner and fellow land defender in Colombia, Abby turned unimaginable grief into a movement for environmental justice. Through writing and activism, she found healing—and a way to honor those who came before her.
Together, we explore:
- How personal grief can fuel collective activism
- Writing as a path to healing and reclaiming voice
- Seeking justice amid loss and unanswered questions
- The link between personal healing and planetary restoration
Tune in for a story of resilience, remembrance, and the power of transforming pain into purpose.
