Speaker:  Jothsna Harris, Senior Community Engagement Manager, Climate Generation

Sharing your climate story with a broad audience can be challenging, but you can influence hearts and minds with personal stories, and solutions-based narratives. Learn about the power of personal narrative when talking about climate change. Together we will walk through a series of prompts to help you think about your own personal climate change story and share ideas for how to use your voice to create change!
