What was the most memorable aspect of PGC 2024 for you?
The most memorable aspect for me was writing a song on the vote day. This song was a reflection on the different challenges and what I had learned about them. From deforestation to indigenous ownership from regenerative framing to air and water pollution from soil erosion to extreme natural disasters, it all plays a part into what is occurring in our current climate situation. Creating this song helped me to put all of the piece of the puzzle together and know that I have to speak out and advocate for change in order to make change happen.
