One of the greatest barriers to overcome in environmental justice communications and advocacy is learning how to effectively relay nuanced issues to any audience: the public, politicians, corporate actors, and academics. This day-long event series explores that intersection: How does one become an effective communicator? What are the modes available to young people to affect change through their voices and diverse media?

Eileen Trần, Creative Director for Intersectional Environmentalist, one of the most prominent educational platforms seeking to diversify the environmental movement, shares this keynote address.

The Duke Human Rights Center at FHI, the Dewitt Wallace Center for Media and Democracy, and the EJ Oral History Project at Duke hosted the Environmental Justice Storytelling for Impact Summit in the Fuqua School of Business's Geneen Auditorium.

This event was part of a larger summit on environmental justice storytelling for Duke Earth Month 2023. If you'd like to view the associated events, click the links below.
