    The EJ (Environmental Justice) Griot Project is a communications initiative that is focused on centering the voices of Gen Z and Millennials when discussing the climate crisis. Participants will be trained to develop and clearly articulate an anti-colonial narrative that accurately represents the African American and Latino communities, which are disproportionately impacted by environmental racism and ecological violence.
