Summary
What does it mean to queer resilience in the face of climate catastrophes? And how might the dominant modes of disaster relief reinforce the centralized systems predicated on extraction and exploitation?
In this episode, we welcome Vanessa Raditz, a queer biocultural geographer, educator, and storyteller dedicated to community healing, opening access to land and resources, and fostering a thriving local economy based on ecological resilience. They are a chronic academic, a current PhD student, a founding member of the Queer Ecojustice Project, a co-organizer of #Queers4ClimateJustice, and the director of the film “Fire & Flood: Queer Resilience in the era of Climate Change”.
The song featured in this episode is Fallen Stars by Desmond White.

| 0:00.0 | I have a quick but important ask. As you're probably aware, Green Dreamer is an independent |
| 0:07.9 | podcast and we don't take on corporate advertisers to fund our work because we don't want those |
| 0:13.7 | considerations to influence our curiosities or our abilities to question whatever it is that we want to question. |
| 0:22.3 | So if you value and believe in our work, this is our call out. |
| 0:26.8 | We need your direct support in order to continue this podcast. |
| 0:30.7 | And you can help us out so, so much through a paid substack subscription to my newsletter at |
| 0:37.3 | camaya.substack.com or through a one-time |
| 0:40.4 | donation at greendreamer.com slash support. It really means a lot to have you here and we're so |
| 0:47.6 | grateful for whatever form or level of support that you're able to share with us. |

| 1:20.6 | recycle materials and created to support our holistic well-being and that you can find in our |
| 1:26.3 | fundraising shop at greendreamer.com slash shop. |
| 1:30.1 | Finally, I wanted to share that I just launched a supplementary live podcast called Uprooted, |
| 1:36.1 | which will be more off-the-cuff and interactive, allowing four live listener questions and contributions. |
| 1:42.4 | This means you'll be able to call in live and be a part of the |
| 1:45.6 | episode recording. I may sometimes debrief what we first talked about here. I may invite some of our |
| 1:51.9 | past Green Dreamer guests for more casual conversations or even bring multiple people in with |
| 1:57.7 | contrasting views to help us further expand our learnings. For more information |
