Dr. Kimberly McGlonn is the founder of Grant Blvd (Instagram: @grantblvd; Facebook: Grand Blvd Clothing), which is a clothing brand committed to creating opportunities in sustainable fashion for marginalized folks in Philadelphia. Before starting her clothing brand, Dr. McGlonn's 17 years of classroom teaching about marginalization and colonialism have shaped her insights into the intersections of environmental and social justice.
In this podcast episode, Dr. McGlonn sheds light on the connections between climate justice and mass incarceration; why we need to go beyond demonizing individual ‘criminals’ to contextualizing isolated events with the greater system; and more.
