EcoWURD founder awarded Emerson Collective Fellowship

Charles Ellison, host of “ecoWURD” on WURD Radio in Philadelphia, was awarded an Emerson Collective Fellowship (https://www.emersoncollective.com/persons/charles-ellison). As an Emerson fellow, Ellison will expand ecoWURD, the first initiative from a Black-owned media outlet dedicated to the coverage of environmental and climate issues. In the process, he will elevate the voices of Black people and communities who can play a critical leadership role in climate response, but whose voices seem largely absent from those conversations. Ellison was a participant in SJN’s 2022 Business & Sustainability Initiative.
