Leah Thomas is a celebrated environmentalist, founder of Intersectional Environmentalist & author of The Intersectional Environmentalist: How to Dismantle Systems of Oppression to Protect People + Planet. Informed by her years of eco-focused educational and professional experience, Leah coined the term ‘eco-communicator’ to describe her style of environmental activism. With a B.S. in Environmental Science & Policy, Leah has interned with the National Park Service, worked at leading green companies, including Ecos and Patagonia. A fundamental optimist and opportunity-maker, Leah used her furloughed time during the pandemic to create Intersectional Environmentalist.

Her writing has appeared in a variety of publications, including Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire and Highsnobiety, and she has been featured in Harper’s Bazaar, W Magazine, ABC News Live, Domino, GOOP, and numerous podcasts.

Ayana Albertini-Fleurant (she/her) is an advocate for transformative approaches to solving the environmental crises that disproportionately impact Black and brown people. As co-executive director for the young, Black-womxn led nonprofit, Generation Green, she coined the term “environmental liberation” to describe a holistic framework that allows one to reimagine and tackle Black liberation, climate justice, and environmental justice together. She has worked with numerous environmental groups in the areas of policy, public engagement and programming.

After becoming the first graduate of the Environmental Studies program at Howard, she contributed local environmental justice research to the curriculum and helped to coordinate a pipeline program for high school students living in environmental justice communities to the HU Environmental Studies program. Ayana identifies as a pleasure activist and a proponent of radical joy and rest. She enjoys yoga, creative direction, singing leisure and self-expression through conscious fashion and beauty. She strives to promote a culture of radical self-care and wellness within social justice spaces.
