Ep 13: Climate Justice with Patricia Lewis Roman

We Got This!... Or Do We?!

Let’s start with some important matters: Midterm elections are THIS UPCOMING TUESDAY, NOV. 6. Please go vote.

The “We Got This!” ladies are getting educated by one of the most real deal women, hustle queen, and genuine person out there. Patricia Lewis Roman is taking NYC by storm, and not just by any storm but by way of Hurricane María, which devastated Patricia’s hometown in Puerto Rico September 2017. Forcibly displaced from her home, her family, and her career as a musician and artist, Maria came to NYC and relied on the generosity of the community around her to help her begin again from nothing. After coming to the difficult realization that music needed to be put aside for the time being, she has focused on giving back and education, specifically on issues of climate justice and injustice (did you even know that’s a thing?!). She has used her creative soul to educate and bring the community together in a variety of ways and has begun to work on her personal musical projects again. We can’t wait to hear more from Patricia (an album coming soon!) and love what she has to say about the importance being open to the generosity and beauty of human kind.
