Breanna Byrd and Christopher Lang are PhD candidates at the University of California, Santa Cruz in the Departments of Feminist Studies and Environmental Studies (respectively). Both are deeply committed to exploring how Black people respond to the environmental realities that shape community health, particularly those in the U.S. South. By blending their interests in waste, passions for environmental justice, and commitments to Black feminist scholarship and praxis, they write to re-route the assumed inevitability of an always uneven environmental collapse by asserting decolonial and Afrofutures.
