Environmental advocate Kristy Drutman, known as "Browngirl Green," argues that connection, not just information, is the missing ingredient in solving climate change. Inspired by her Filipino grandmother, Kristy believes personal engagement changes behavior faster than statistics. Through community-centered platforms like Brown Girl Green and the Green Jobs Board, Kristy demonstrates how systemic change happens when climate action feels personal and inclusive. As a speaker, media producer, and entrepreneur, she educates hundreds of thousands globally, bridging equity gaps within the green economy by bringing diverse talent into the environmental field.
