Environmental Series: Community and Clean Air with Environmental Justice Liaison Heather Toney

Politician, attorney, and environmentalist Heather Toney joins us this week for a powerful conversation on clean air and community. Her lifetime of service has provided communities the chance to discuss and address environmental injustices, and she herself has accomplished a lot of firsts - one being the first African American, first female, and youngest mayor of Greenville, Mississippi! She then moved on to the EPA, where she was appointed Regional Administrator by President Obama. Since then, she has become a senior advisor at Mom’s Clean Air Force and is currently serving as an environmental justice liaison for the Environmental Defense Fund. She’s been awarded a number of accolades and titles, one of our favorites being Essence Magazine’s “one of the most remarkable women in the world,” which is the title we would give her if we could choose! So you can imagine how beyond thrilled we were to sit down with a dedicated contributor to environmental justice and such a powerful conversationalist.

McKenna, Kate and Sean contemplate what it means to get involved in their own communities.
