EP 12: Putting Your Boots On with Pattie Gonia

52 Hertz: The Lonely Whale Podcast

play

09/15/20 • 26 min

Wyn Wiley is a photographer, activist, Eagle Scout, and creator of Drag Queen environmentalist “Pattie Gonia.” Pattie was born two years ago when Wyn tossed a pair of six-inch boots into his pack before heading on a trip to the Continental Divide. Since then, Pattie has gained a following of nearly 300K people on Instagram by being a vocal environmental and LGBTQIA+ advocate and inspiring people to spend more time outdoors. 52 Hertz host Petrice Jones and Wyn discuss how Pattie defies heteronormative concepts of nature, who belongs outdoors, and if there’s such a thing as “sustainable drag.” We’ll also discuss what he’s learned from Pattie, the importance of intersectional environmentalism, and why “drag” is actually part of all of our lives.

09/10/20 • 25 min

Zanagee Artis co-founded Zero Hour when he was just 17 years old. The youth-led climate justice organization has since expanded to 24 sister chapters across the United States with many more internationally. Zero Hour creates entry points, training, and resources for new young activists (and adults who support their vision) wanting to take concrete action around climate change.

Zanagee has been recognized by national publications including the New York Times and recently by Teen Vogue as one of the magazine’s “9 Climate Activists of Color You Should Know.”

52 Hertz host Petrice Jones and Zanagee talk about the ability of young leaders to galvanize change, how Zero Hour goes against the current by centering the voices of diverse youth, and why the environment should be a top priority when Americans cast their ballots in the November 3 presidential election.
