The best thing I encountered today: a vibrant, informed, articulate, relatable, reasoned young Black woman putting the light on an important issue. I like that phrase: intersectional environmentalism. Go!
FYI. Calling a Black person "articulate" is a microaggression. It implies that you didn't expect her to be or that it's notable that she's "articulate" because she's Black.
I had a gut reaction to the title and almost considered not watching the video. Having now watched it, it is such an important message and very well stated and explained. It opened my mind to other issues that need to be dealt with which are important to think about. However, I do not think it is ok to use the last words of a dying man in the title to this video and I'd be surprised if it wasn't changed soon. If you had the same gut reaction as me watch the video it is important, but the original title is a bit callous.
Yeah, even the intro made me a bit uncomfortable. But it is indeed a very important issue, and highlighted for me just how very many different ways black lives are undervalued.
Thank you for the honest feedback! We have updated the title accordingly.
I don't think this piece did a good job of talking about longterm poisoning and slow deaths of black and brown communities from environmental pollution. Children in flint Michigan will have to deal with lead poisoning, which is a neurotoxin for the rest of their lives. It goes even further with cancer rate and endocrine disruptors (the hormones in your body can't do their job anymore which leads to further disease). It's not just "do people not have access to organic produce." Is their water poisoning them and does the air have exhaust particulates that end up in your lungs, causing COPD which is suffocating to death but slowly. It is two horrible, terrible options, a slow painful death or a fast painful death. We can all agree that George's death is morally and ethically wrong, there is no discussion. Another sad part is everyday people are threatened with losing their livelihood or place to live if they don't accept these conditions, because where else are you going to go?
She is soooo right ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love her
Me too! Agreed
I'm confused how does this video have so little views in comparison to the food videos?? The vegan sushi video from 3 days ago has over 200,000 views and this one hasn't even hit 10,000 yet. Goodful, market this more!
Thank you, thank you, thank you I loved this video
Such content! Thank you for this young lady, great job! The planet and humanity thanks you! Minorities need you!💜💜💜
I am so happy I stumbled into this video! I just said the exact same thing to my friend last week about how 2020 has been all about breathing, that the world is suffocating from injustice, for people and our environment! I want to help make a change through environmental justice and justice for black lives! Thank you for putting this video together!
As a person who lives in a black community that is sandwiched between; DuPont, Denka, Shell, Motiva, Valero, Diamond Diesel, Exxon Mobil, etc oil refineries .... she is not lying 😞
I just want to say I see you Goodful! When all the protests started I saw Goodful coming with the authentic messages of support to BLM. Your video history represents your authenticity. The way you all responded earned my fandom for life. Thank you.
Uhm...this is a great message...really...great...I just wish you had it aired on its own instead of trying to intertwine in with what you know you did...kinda tone deaf. TO ME(Me being the person who wrote this comment)
Noel Uchendu I totally get what you’re saying. And you have a point. I just don’t like so many things, even the title...it’s “triggering” and the channel did it intentionally, not sure if it was for clicks/views. It’s a great message she is sending.
Another key way to get involved with the environmental justice movement is to learn the history of it. In the 1980s, Black North Carolinians birthed the modern day “environmental justice movement” when over 500 folks were arrested for protesting illegal chemical dumping in Warren County, NC. Black and indigenous folks have always been advocates for safe and conscientious land usage, as we know our lives and communities depend on access to healthy soil, safe drinking water, and clean air. Google to learn more, the movement has been documented.
It makes me so sad that she was expecting to get fired just for pointing out intersectional racism.
Appreciate you doing the work, and spreading awareness about intersectional environmentalism. BlackLivesMatter indeed, and we will lead the charge for change.
I love how you saw a gap that needed to be filled and filled it. Keep up the great work!
Thanking you, Leah Thomas. You just made my day BEAUTIFUL. God bless xx
This is so needed in the environmental space. Thank you @greengirlleah for giving the action steps. I pledged and have been giving back.
Thank you for sharing your platform for this important message.
Hey cousin I really enjoyed watching this It was so very true and informative I’m so very proud of you for taking a stand and using your platform to help become the catalyst for change we all deserve the right to breathe clean air thanks for bringing awareness Bless you!

Great video. It should also be pointed out that Black activists actually started the environmental justice movement to fight exactly what is discussed in this video. But it was co-opted by white people (similar to the me too movement). Environmental Justice has always been about Black Lives.
No it hasn't.
I love Green Girl Leah!!!
She is not green. She profits from Chinese companies which pollute and use slave labor in manufacturing. Do your homework.
Amen. Thank you for your wealth of knowledge towards our “very” existence💕💕💕 Love you!!
U
I appreciate your voice and I really want the law need to be fixed, to stop the crime. Not the good heart people. I really kind to anyone , I have a anxiety problem. Soon I will be better.
Love this video! Keep going, young queen!
Thanks, @Goodful for this content ✊🏾
BLM: "Some are more equal than others".
@Trinity M Do you mean the black activists and educators that have made millions with the profitable business of "black equity" like Patrisse Cullors, Opal Tometi and Alicia Garza? Do you want me to read black activists like Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton that have profited with the suffering of others? I don't need a how to profit with a business training course.
Thank you for saying this. I have had to explain this very fact & illustrate it to many other Black people
Aww. That is so sweet yet extremely sad ❤️
I shared this with all my friends, idk how a message as genuine and amazing as this only has 11k views (which is alot but not nearly as much as it should be getting)
Vitamin D, skin color and Covid 19. In international studies, the people showing up in the hospitals with Covid 19 are Vitamin D deficient (actually 50 ng/ml or below). Studies show 70% of adult African American are Vitamin D deficient, due to the high levels of melanin in their skin. Vitamin D, Vitamin C, and Zinc are important in the fight against Covid 19.
Thank you for bringing awareness in areas populated by Black & Brown People. I currently reside in Lancaster Tx and over the last 15yrs more Farm lands have been turned into Vacant warehouse buildings. The quality of air is depleting. During town hall meetings the people was informed more jobs to the area. NOT TRUE. People of color have to vote and continue to speak up. We will continue to be affected with Chemical imbalances and distruction.
That was very insightful! I would have never thought, but glad im aware now
Sharing this with my friends and gurl, keep up the good work!
Thank you dor educating i love to learn more about this topic
Wow cuz. That was and is so powerful. Thank you for being such a graceful voice for the voiceless. Please feel free to reach out to me if there's anything I can do to help continue to shed light to the darkness. Its hard to be awake when those who are around you may not be able to digest the truth or even care. I stand with you and trust me, I've done a lot of research on my own and it runs too deep for the average human being to ever be able to handle. The true agenda😔. But those like you who aren't afraid and solely cares for the well being of humanity will ignite the people and we all will unite and make this world a better place. Keep up the great work! Love you❤🙏🏾✊🏾
p.s. new subscriber👍🏾 my mom sent me this video
Not only black lives the matter everyone lives the matter 👊🏻👊🏼👊🏽👊🏾👊🏿
All lives matter is a racist move mat created by trump supporters to mock blm
All lives matter is racist???? Thats interesting.
@@thatguy8162 trump did more for black people than BLM has ever done.
@Trinity M do you think non black people are so unintelligent and ignorant that we don’t value every single human life the same as our own? The problem is that so many people convince themselves that they are oppressed because of the radicalized ideas of very few.
What a great description of intersectional environmentalism. You are amazing Leah - keep up the good work!
Goodful should make a video with Ron Finley!
If we all begin to connect more with nature, I believe it will bring all people together
I am so proud of you and all you are doing. Expect great things to happen in your life, because we serve a Great God. Hugs and Love from your Aunt in Florida.
Thank you for addressing this important issue.
Hi Leah. This video seems to be in “restricted mode” so it does not link properly. Is this something you can fix? Thank you for leading this important conversation!
It’s linked because it’s both making people delusional and unrealistic. Oh yeah and they all vote the same party. Makes sense now🤣
Thank you. You have made a point that extends through out the planet and your perspective need to be much better known.
Lots of love to you for creating and distributing this important work.
How did those fires in St Louis get started my dear?
Thank you for bring awareness to this matter!💜
thank you for this! Leah, you're inspirational!
Wow! Beautiful!!!!
Amazing video! I love the message and 100% agree!
I've had asthma since I was a baby
enchanted Facts. Like, no one cares mate
Seriously?
This is how half the country thinks. The environment is racist now too.
Serious question, why does it matter what race the victims of climate change are? I believe in global warming and believe we should help them. But why does their race matter?
@Trinity M but why does their race matter? also the reason why black people aren't "rising up" are mostly due to factors created/continued by black people.
Love it!
Wakanda.
Thank you for posting this and raising awareness also showing respect or the movement. I have a video on my channel entitled “BEING A BLACK WOMAN IN AMERICA” if you would like to see the movement from a different perspective
💚🌿🌏
You are not oppressed
Good for you in pursuing EJ issues. It’s necessary work. For anyone in learning more environmental justice, look up work by Dr. Robert Bullard.
This is amazing.
Vim pelo jogo do ff
🤮👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
Y’all tear gas is a POWDER not a liquid or gas!!!!
Justin okay...what does that have to do with the point of the video?
Had no idea the weather was racist🙄
Clearly, it is not the only thing that you have no idea about 🤨
Ngl the “I can’t breathe” metaphor she went for was such a far stretch I actually laughed.
