After I finished organizing with LCOY USA, I was offered a role as the USA Representative for Climate Live USA, which pairs music with climate advocacy to engage more people in the climate movement, primarily through large conferences like the Conference of the Parties (COP) and music festivals as activation points. Through this role, I was tasked with building out and establishing the Climate Live chapter here in the United States, defining what that would mean for the 1st time. I first heard about Climate Live as a delegate at COY28 and remember thinking how this organization was my dream organization to work with and divine alignment coming into fruition to make that happen prior to COP30 in Brazil. I was therefore in a unique position to have my onboarding experience be working alongside my team in our entertainment, arts, and culture pavilion space, where we hosted over 70+ events over the 2 weeks to showcase Indigenous perspectives while elevating the importance of storytelling and artivism.
