Hi, I’m Tarika Powell.

I’m an environmental policy expert specializing in fossil fuels, green energy, and environmental justice. I help environmental organizations strategize and build campaigns through policy analysis, messaging, and education. I also support organizations who are ready to advance their DE&I (diversity, equity, and inclusion) work beyond the surface level. Check out my articles for the latest in environment, education, and equity.
