In today's episode I'm chatting with Isaias Hernandez, an environmental educator aka Queer Brown Vegan - the social media platform where he helps people understand the climate crisis. Isaias is so good at explaining some of the worlds most pressing issues in a super simple and engaging way - highly recommend following him on Instagram to learn more about sustainability, research, and what he calls ‘evidence-based hope'.We spoke about the link between the environmental crisis and social inequalities, how he believes the climate crisis is an educational crisis and how he perceives the tension between the need for systemic change and individual action. He told me the story of how and why he went vegan, and shared his perspective on ocean wildlife. We also discussed how to avoid climate doomism, and where to find hope - with the amazing example of the recovery of Monterey Bay, where ocean biodiversity is now thriving.Isaias is such a joy to speak with and I had a great time recording this conversation - hope you'll enjoy it as well!Want to dive deeper?Watch the episode about Monterey Bay on Isaias' YouTube channel – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13XomK_ASXs&t=650s&ab_channel=QueerBrownVeganCome say hi!Isaias on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/queerbrownvegan/Why We Care on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/whywecarepodcast/Tiphaine on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tiphainemarie_/Discover Earth on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/discoverearth/If you enjoyed the episode and want to help the podcast, I would be super grateful if you could leave a little review or share it with a friend who might like it.

In this episode we talk to Isais Hernandez, known across their social medias by the Queer Brown Vegan, about their journey into the environmental justice movement. Rhea and Isais also talk about the role of content creation and social media in the movement, finding spaces for queer people in the movement, and how veganism fits into the movement as a whole.

Isaias Hernandez is an Environmental Educator & Content Creator of QueerBrownVegan, where he educates people on the intersecting climate crises through a justice-oriented lens. Isaias and I discuss intersectionality, veganism and food insecurity, BIPOC voices in veganism, de-centreing whiteness in environmentalism/veganism, diversity and inclusion, and much [much] more.

In episode 291, Kestrel welcomes Abby Mills, aka @abbyontheinternet, to the show. A product designer working in tech in the San Francisco Bay Area, Abby is a style enthusiast, thrifter, beginner sewist, and a slow fashion + sustainability advocate. “If we're talking about the original definition of de-influencing, I think it's great that more people are talking about this. There's a wider conversation that's happening now, and it's this newer idea to a more mainstream audience. And I think that a lot of people are craving this conversation. I think there's a strong response because people are pretty sick of being advertised to — they're craving the substance, they're craving this authenticity, they're craving people with a unique point of view.” -Abby You have most likely heard about this week's topic – DE-INFLUENCING.  It's something that started trending over on TikTok earlier this year, and has taken on many forms since then. In its origins, it was about becoming more critical about the things that we buy – and it started when a lot of so-called influencers started telling folks what NOT to buy, instead of their typical MO which is to focus on selling us things from their brand partners – things we more often than not, don't need. This is a refreshing idea – I mean, our feeds are flooded with sponcon these days. Apparently traditional influencer marketing was a $16.4 billion industry last year, and we are becoming increasingly aware of how much we are being marketed to on a constant basis. But while the initial concept of de-influencing is refreshing, it's definitely not new. There are several *influencers* or *content creators* who have been talking about issues around overconsumption and fast fashion and buying less for years now. Insert writer Aja Barber or creator Heidi Kaluza or drag queen Kimberly Clark – who was doing anti-hauls on YouTube 7 years ago, or this week's guest – who sometimes calls herself an ex-influencer. Over the last couple of months, we have seen the meaning of de-influencer shift rapidly. It's gone from being about critiquing our consumerist society to instead, being co-opted by influencers and marketers as an opportunity to share why you shouldn't buy this product and instead, you should just buy that product! Before we dive deep into all these layers – let's take a step back and momentarily examine what the origins of the influencer industry were all about.  This week's guest reminds us that the influencer industry was built off of the idea that folks trust the authenticity of everyday people, aka influencers, more than actual brands. But, aren't we all struggling to trust *influencers* today? Aren't we regularly overwhelmed with searching for some sort of authenticity, because so much of the content we consume was created, solely because someone was paid to create it? As this week's guest proposes – if influencers were actually doing their jobs (which includes being truthful and honest with their communities), would the de-influencing trend even exist? If you can't tell yet, we go down a labyrinth of a rabbit hole with this one – but a lot of the discussion circles back to this primary question — Can de-influencing help us combat overconsumption? Quotes & links from the conversation: “Deinfluencing EXPLAINED Sustainability, Overconsumption, & Deifluencers” — video by Queer Brown Vegan that Kestrel mentions “The new TikTok trend is convincing people not to buy things”, article in The Washington Post that Kestrel mentions “Can Social Media's New Deinfluencing Trend Really Encourage Us To Buy Less Stuff?”, article in British Vogue by Aditi Mayer that Kestrel mentions  Aja Barber — one of the original folks who have been talking about de-influencing concepts (mentioned on the show) Heidi Kaluza — one of the original folks who have been talking about de-influencing concepts (mentioned on the show) Kimberly Clark — one of the original folks who have been talking about de-influencing concepts (mentioned on the show) Mandy Lee — *trend* analyst who has discussed de-influencing (mentioned on the show) “I started to understand what monetizing was all about — when I came into this industry, I naively did not understand how to get paid to be on the internet. And now, if you're a content creator or a vlogger or an influencer or whatever you call yourself — if you're monetizing, you're in the advertising industry. And this is not a judgement, you know, the advertising industry is a huge industry — there are many smart and creative people. So, it's not a judgment, but it's a fact. If you want to be paid to be on the internet and you're not being paid by your following, like through subscribers, you're part of the advertising industry.” -Abby (15:14) “That's something that I try to practice throughout many aspects of my life is allowing myself to have little moments of failures and mistakes and being kind with myself so that I can feel confident to try new things … mistakes are an integral part of the learning process. You know, they're not accidental — they really are necessary if you want to learn and you want to grow.” -Abby (49:20) Follow Abby on Instagram >

#74: At this point, we're all well aware that climate change is an ever-growing threat to our lives and our environment. We've seen the mounting evidence over the years. All the scientific reports just seem be getting worse. The future — at times — looks grim. All this can lead to a phenomenon called “climate doomism.” It's the narrative that the damage to our environment has been done and, really, there is nothing we can do about it. But this mindset is super problematic, and is making our environmental issues worse. So today, LAist's climate emergency reporter Erin Stone hangs out with Isais Hernandez, a content creator known as Queer Brown Vegan, to chat about this negative outlook and how to fight against it.

Who gets a voice when it comes to the environment? After all, we all have to live on this little blue dot together. Everyone, regardless of identity, has a right to define humanity's relationship with the environment.

If we truly want to save the planet, we need to work towards a future that is just and equitable for all. Who's Saving the Planet is celebrating Earth Day this year by collaborating with Isaias Hernandez, (@queerbrownvegan), Sally Garcia (@callmeflowerchild), and Reza Cristian from Sustain the Mag to discuss how sustainability and social justice intersect! Isaias Hernandez is an environmental justice activist and influencer, and he is the creator behind Queer Brown Vegan, an educational platform and safe space for other like-minded individuals to learn terminology in the environmental movement. Sally Garcia is a BIPOC environmental activist and influencer who is working to make America's National Parks more safe and equitable for all. Reza Cristián is the founder and editor-in-chief of SUSTAIN THE MAG, an online media platform where eco-conscious warriors cultivate a healthy, planet-friendly lifestyle. Sustain disrupts complacency and refuses the old habits of our over-consuming, throw-away society. Listen, share with friends, and get out there to keep saving the planet!

Isaias Hernandez is used to tackling tough topics. In this episode, we discuss his work as an environmental justice educator, teaching the rest of us why BIPOC communities experience the biggest impacts from Climate Change. He speaks honestly about growing up the son of Mexican immigrants, living in Tongva-land in Southern California, and coming to grips with his childhood that was so very different from his peers at Berkeley. We learn how to relearn what we've been taught in history class for eons and just how difficult that process can be when it doesn't match our reality. Our discussion reminded ME that a healthy, sustainable lifestyle should be a right and not a privilege. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Today's episode is with Isaias Hernandez, also known by their Instagram handle as @QueerBrownVegan. After graduating from Berkeley with a degree in Environmental Science, Isaias was disappointed by the state of climate education: queer and POC advocates didn't get as much recognition and most research was only accessible through academic institutions. So he started Queer Brown Vegan, a social media platform and online community where people can learn and discuss intersectional environmentalism. We talk about going vegan, creating room for everyone in the movement, and communicating climate change. Be sure to check out QueerBrownVegan on Twitter and Instagram!

In Episode #121, Quinn's got a fantastic new guest to help answer his favorite question: “What can I do?” Isaias Hernandez – or, as he's known pretty much everywhere on the internet, Queer Brown Vegan -- shares the mic today. He's built a massive following using an intersectional approach to reach people through empathy and education. In this series, we look at how young people are using their passions and lived experiences to participate in this transformational moment in history. Isaias exemplifies this by taking his passion for the environment, his frustration with the inaccessibility of academia, and his skill for graphic design, to create the kinds of educational content he wished he had access to when he was younger. Isaias has taken every aspect of who he is and incorporated it into that educational platform. From understanding his own role in the food system, the way that humans are exploited in agricultural systems, and the inevitability of climate change, he looks to his own interests and what makes him unique, then shares it with the world.

Today's episode is a complete treat for anyone who wants to learn more about food security, intersectionality, social - environmental justice and how to take action to live a more balanced, conscientious and informed life.    We are delighted to welcome the sweet and sage Isaias Hernandez to SOUNDFOOD. Isaias is an environmental educator and activist, vegan, entrepreneur, public speaker, digital marketer, and creator of Queer Brown Vegan- an educational platform that seeks to share the spectrum of environmentalism through graphics, illustrations, and videos (and very delicious vegan recipes!)   Isaias grew up in Los Angeles, CA  where he witnessed environmental injustices through his unique perspective as a BIPOC and LGBTQIA person. It was those disparities that inspired him to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Science from UC Berkeley. Wise beyond his years, he has gained experience in a variety of diversity inclusion work in environmental spaces, academic research, and creative work.     We discuss Isaias' focus on creating food security in communities, the importance of buying local food, what sustainability actually means, avoiding “vegan capitalism” and seeing through “rainbow washing” and more. Isaias also has a reverence and sensitivity for Indigenous cultures that govern so much of his personal practices and convictions. This conversation imparts as much wisdom for the mind as it does nourishment for the heart and soul.
