On the first episode of What We Need Now, we explore Environmental racism and how COVID-19 has made its impacts even greater. We interview multi-disciplinary performance artist, activist/community organizer, and writer Adwoa Addae about why we need to feel to get through it all. Adwoa Addae (she/they) is Jamaican-born multidisciplinary performance artist, activist/community organizer, writer, and free-being.
