In today’s episode. I’m so excited to connect with the amazing Diandra Marizet Esparza—poet, cultural writer, and ecofeminist. Diandra is the co-founder of Intersectional Environmentalist, a movement that’s transforming the way we approach environmentalism by weaving together intersectionality, storytelling, and community-led solutions. Her work is a powerful blend of education, advocacy, and liberation, inspiring us to reconnect with our roots and reclaim our relationship with the earth.
In our conversation, we cover ecofeminism, the healing power of storytelling, and the wisdom carried through ancestral practices. Diandra opens up about her journey from the fashion industry to leading Intersectional Environmentalist and shares profound insights on how yoga and liberation movements intersect. Together, we explore what it means to live with purpose, build community, and create a world that honors justice, care, and connection.
