In this week's episode, we hear from Janelle Lapointe, a climate justice and Indigenous rights organizer from the Stellat’en First Nation. Janelle shares her story with us, from fishing salmon from her local river to heading off to university with a plan to girlboss her way through the big city, and finally experiencing an undeniable call to stand up for her people and planet. Together, we'll unpack some of the root causes of climate change and unaffordability.
