Through her work, Ophelia translates complicated climate science into enjoyable creative content – aiming to reach Black and marginalised communities that are typically less engaged with environmentalism in Wales. Ophelia champions action that is led by optimism for the future, not by fear.

Community

Working within the community, Ophelia uses skill sharing as a powerful tool to explore the complexities of climate change, driving participation and action.

Through her platform she creates educational content, to inform and encourage conversation around sustainable fashion, over-consumption and equality.
