THE HERDS is am amazing opportunity for me as a young performer and climate activist to combine my passions. Growing up in a very rural area, I have watched the destruction of much of the nature in my local area, through water polution, unethical farming practices and plant diseases. THE HERDS is a way for me to take action and have a voice in a larger global conversation on the climate crisis.
