“All logic and science points to the necessity of speaking up and doing something, yet the topic of climate change and climate justice still remains a separate hobby that people have a choice to engage in. To me, there was no choice.”

Annabel was born in New York City and raised surrounded by a community of drag queens, performance artists, dancers, and activists who have made her who she is today. She is passionate about art and writing as catalysts for change, and she loves to dance, knit, and play soccer. Annabel believes we must all speak out and do something about climate change so that we can say we did everything we could. She says that although she is not at the frontline of the climate crisis, it would be a crime to stand still and watch those who are suffering lose everything.
