Black Fahrenheit is a national climate justice campaign developed by A—B Partners in collaboration with more than 50 movement organizations across 13 states. This initiative seeks to engage, educate, and mobilize young BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) voters on critical climate issues in the lead-up to the 2022 midterm elections. By focusing on communities most affected by environmental challenges, Black Fahrenheit advocates for inclusive, progressive policies that support both marginalized communities and the planet.
As a key contributor, I was deeply involved from the concept phase through production and editing, bringing the campaign’s vision to life on screen. I played a central role in shaping the storyline, drawing attention to the unique climate experiences of BIPOC communities by selecting talent and locations that reflected authentic, everyday settings—like bodegas and community gardens—that resonate within these communities.
In addition to filming, I managed all aspects of post-production, including editing, color correction, animation, and soundtrack selection, crafting a visual narrative that highlighted the urgency and resilience within BIPOC-led climate efforts. This approach helped ensure the film’s message connected with viewers on both an emotional and visual level, underscoring the importance of climate action.
The campaign was met with positive responses across social media, sparking increased engagement around climate issues among BIPOC audiences and reinforcing the role of storytelling in driving awareness and action for climate justice.
