Arkansas: Awaiting a Wave

It has been a while since my last post, a lovely coincidence perhaps to Cupid's arrow and new family with a fellow blogger! 💘

Keeping true to this blog's goal to bring more indigenous Marshallese voices to the dialog surrounding climate change, here is---in my humble opinion---the most well done and certainly most artistic piece of the past year.

Awaiting a Wavecomes from THE WEATHER CHANNEL United State of Climate Change Series, which aims to share "a climate story for every state in the nation." This particular story belongs to the State of Arkansas and features "individuals, communities and businesses responding to the changes that are already happening in America, and how they’re preparing for the changes that have yet to occur." Quoted text from http://features.weather.com/us-climate-change/about/. Some of those individuals include: 


Chris Balos

Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner

Mark Stege
