Penn dropped the trailer at South By Southwest during the Empowering the Next Generation to Build a Better Future featured session.

“Asali: Power of The Pollinators,” is an animated action-adventure short film that follows honey bee Asali after she meets a group of pollinators and a human environmental scientist. The unlikely group slowly saves Asali, her family and their home from a deadly monstrous force.

The Environmental Justice movement is one of the most critical movements within environmentalism. So why isn’t it more widely spoken about?

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a passion for nature, ecosystems, and the planet. I leapt into environmental advocacy when I was eight to use my voice and abilities to make a difference in the world. But being a young black environmental activist, I couldn’t help but notice that virtually no one in the sustainability space looked like me. I grew up with little to no reflections of myself within this field, and experienced firsthand how my race dictated what room there was for me in this space. But I never gave up. I continued to advocate, educate, and research as much as I could, until I discovered the unsung history of the black leaders in sustainability. What I discovered blew me away.

The Unsung Heroes of Environmental Activism

Professor Wangari Maathai was a trailblazing Kenyan environmental activist and 2004 Nobel Peace Prize laureate with a focus in reforestation and women’s rights. She amplified her intersectional work through her NGO the Green Belt Movement, which she founded in 1977.

Hazel M. Johnson was an African American environmental activist and the “mother of the environmental justice movement”. Her investigations proved the residents of her majority black neighborhood were being exposed to hazardous fumes and polluted drinking water. Through her nonprofit People for Community Recovery, which she founded in 1979, she pushed the city of Chicago to test the drinking water which led to the installation of water and sewer lines to the area.
