Stories of Change Episode 7 - Jemima Williamson-Wong reminds us that anything new is scary at first and how she brings herself and others along.
In this episode we meet the approachable powerhouse Jemima Williamson-Wong speaking with us from Whadjuk Nyoongar land.
“I want to make sure that people can come into the spaces we are holding and feel like they’re comfortable and not feel like they can’t come because they don’t know something or feel insecure about their knowledge about climate change.”
She is a law and sustainable development student and activist. Growing up in Western Australia with the constant threat of bushfires, Jemima quickly understood the impacts of a warming planet and wanted to take action personally. Join us in this conversation to hear about Jemima’s journey from her C4C Fellowship in 2021 to her current climate activism work as WA coordinator for AYCC. She reminds us that anything new is scary at first, just go!
Jemima is a Fremantle-based law and sustainable development student and activist, who has always had an inkling that there must be something to do about the climate crisis. Growing up in Western Australia with the constant threat of bushfires, Jemima quickly understood the impacts of a warming planet and wanted to take action personally. After focusing on the strengths and weaknesses of climate change communication as part of a year twelve project, Jemima took part in the 2021 C4C fellowship. After the fellowship, she also completed the facilitator training and hosted a couple of conversations. Now, her energy is focused on being the state coordinator for the Australian Youth Climate Coalition. Within this volunteer role, Jemima utilises the skills she gained at C4C to have meaningful conversations about climate and inspire others to take action.
