Growing up tending to her grandmother’s garden, Genesis learned she was not merely observing an ecosystem but was an integral part of it. This formative experience sparked a deep curiosity about ecosystems and the importance of cultivating sustainable relationships.
In her final year of studies at Dickenson College, Genesis conducts research on climate justice at various policy levels.
Inspired by a transformative study abroad agricultural experience, in the Amazon rainforest in Peru in 2023, Genesis is committed to addressing the Caribbean’s underrepresentation in climate discussions, by improving communication and collaboration among activists.
