De-colonizing your mind is an emotional experience. The more I study, the more I am reminded that a bulk of my thoughts, feelings, and desires are not my own.

Congratulations to our Pacific Negotiators on the inclusion of #LossAndDamage. This is a positive step in the right direction for climate justice. Unfortunately CoP27 failed to name and address the root cause of the climate crisis: fossil fuel.
