Catalyzing Conversation: Moving Like Water with Ayanna Jolivet Mccloud

Bayou City Waterkeeper (BCWK) in Houston, TX doesn’t just protect the city’s waterways and the communities that depend on it, they model their operations on nature itself. “We are inspired by the dynamism of water and the shape-shifting nature of our bayous and their floodplains,” they write. “As keepers of the waters, we embrace movement and adaptability in our work. Reciprocity is also central in our relationships with people and nature.” Hear from 2024 Catalyst Awardee Ayanna Jolivet Mccloud, the executive director of BCWK, on her work to hold polluters accountable, protect wetlands, and center environmental and climate justice in the fifth-most populous metro area in the US. Ayanna’s unique approach to this work through de-jargonizing water policy and incorporating visual art has earned her many accolades. She has much to share about effective and creative approaches to water justice advocacy. Conversation moderated by Abigail Rome.
