Summer may be just getting started, but #ExtremeWeatherSZN is year-round. Climate pollution is making severe weather more frequent, intense and dangerous, and without critical climate protections, our communities will suffer.

Sis… when I tell you June 21 was a whole vibe?? We had care packages, chair massages, belly dancing, vendors, and deep talks — all the softness and healing in one space. It was the community reset we didn’t even know we needed. If you missed it… whew. Don’t let that happen again.
Save the date: our final wellness event is going down July 16th. 💆🏾‍♀️✨💃🏾

It all started with a classroom convo and a question: Where are all the Black girls in environmental spaces?

From that spark, Girl Plus Environment was born: a movement rooted in Black girl joy, power, and the planet, led by our founder, Diamond Spartling, who turned that classroom moment into a mission.
