This week, we’re diving into the intersections of journalism, climate change, and the realities of war. Heavy? We know. In the face of the many tumultuous circumstances we are all navigating across the globe, we at Speaking in First Draft hope to foster the hard conversations that are often few and far between. Prepare to hear from astute journalists Christabel Nsiah-Buadi and Jordan Gass-Poore, who draw on their many years of experience speaking with and reporting on the communities impacted by war and the climate crisis. Please also welcome Girls Write Now mentee and recent Barnard College grad Allison Su, who leads this truly riveting and timely conversation.
Speaking in First Draft is a production by Girls Write Now.
