The influence of Hollywood’s media and entertainment is undeniable. The narratives we consume impact our daily decisions and even affect changes in legislation. There are many parallels between activists and artists/entertainers, as well as the industries they are working within or fighting to end. “Profits over people is the core foundation of the issue. Because if some folks weren’t so concerned, so concerned with so much profit, then they would change their business model to be something that isn’t going to kill people,” said former TCS co-host Antonique Smith.

On this episode of The Coolest Show, Antonique shares her experience and interviews live from the March to End Fossil Fuels in New York City. Her and Rev Yearwood speak about being an artivist in today’s movement, the SAG-AFTRA strike and the future of climate storytelling.
