When I was a kid, my dream was to become a speechwriter (nerd alert!) I like to think that was because even as a middle schooler, I understood the power of a strong narrative. Or rather, I did not understand it yet, but I felt it. I knew that when I heard a great story, I could be moved, inspired, and persuaded. Now, I don't remember learning about the climate crisis or seeing its effects for the first time, but I do know that by the time I was a high schooler I already believed it to be a problem of persuasion. I saw that we had the science, the technologies to change, and we just needed the will to make it happen. 10 years later, I still think the same thing.
