Through a transnational Black feminist lens, I examine Afro-descendant communities’ experiences of climate change adaptation, mitigation and conservation processes. My research brings into view Afro-diasporic praxes of ecological care, environmental frameworks, and climate futures.

My current research is based in Salvador, Brazil where practitioners of Candomblé (an Afro-Brazilian religion) are key actors in state-led climate change planning and work to sustain thriving urban forests through their relationalities and intimacies with spiritual beings.

My research is supported by the Wenner-Gren Foundation and Explorers Club.
