Congratulations, you\\u2019ve been accepted into the inaugural class of Therapy for Black Girls University. Whether packing for a new year on campus, thinking through your gap year, enrolling in a community college, or grabbing your stoles for graduation, TBG U is here to help you thrive at this stage of your life and beyond.
\\nLast year, videos of a flooding at Clark Atlanta University went viral. I know I\\u2019m not the only one who sees videos like these and wonders how the climate crisis will continue to impact me and my friends who are in college.\\xa0
\\nTo help mitigate some of the anxiety I\\u2019m sure we all have around the climate crisis, I\\u2019m joined today by Gen Z climate activist, Wawa Gatheru. Wawa is the founder and executive director of Black Girl Environmentalist, the largest national organization dedicated to empowering Black girls and women in the climate movement.\\xa0
\\nShe has been recognized as a Glamour College Woman of the Year, a Forbes 30 under 30 recipient, and was featured on the January 2023 cover of Vogue alongside Billie Eilish and 7 other climate activists.\\xa0
\\nIn our conversation today, Wawa breaks down some key terms relevant to the climate crisis, ways we can get involved with the environmental justice movement on our campuses, and why it\\u2019s important for college students in particular to care about climate change.
