Thank you for bringing this wonderful interview to us! I'm a bit over halfway through Nina's book and it delivers on everything she says here! The characters are engaging and real, flawed, passionate, grieving, and hopeful. Her last comment reminded me of something one of my former students said when we held a Town Hall for alumni to speak with current students. At the end, we asked them all the same question, how are you building hope? And Leah answered, "I think we shouldn't underestimate how powerful just having conversations with each other can be, because ideas can spread and that's how change happens. So if this could be the spark, I think that's a great thing."
A great interview, fantastic to be introduced to you both and your work. Looking forward to reading this book, love that you are giving the natural world her voice.
So many gems in this conversation. Totally agree on how essential collective climate conversations are , have participated in and facilitated many over last 15 years. The energy that comes out of honest sharing of feelings and ways to act in response is palpable and bonding. Definitely what keeps me going in climate space. .
