    • Episode 16: Charles Orgbon III on Climate Change, Youth Leadership & Writing as a Tool for Change

      Episode 16: Charles Orgbon III on Climate Change, Youth Leadership & Writing as a Tool for Change
      Feb 16 2026

      In Episode 16 of Voices of Change, Charles Orgbon III joins us for a grounded and expansive conversation on climate change, youth leadership, corporate sustainability, and writing as a tool for impact.

      Charles shares his journey from founding a youth-led nonprofit at just 12 years old to working in corporate sustainability and storytelling. We explore what it means to act before you feel ready, how education and history shape responsibility, and why writing remains one of the most powerful tools in climate advocacy.

      This episode dives into:

      Youth leadership and starting before you feel qualified
      The role of nonprofit work in shaping long-term impact
      Corporate responsibility in a shifting political climate
      Writing as a bridge between policy and everyday life
      Why climate change affects insurance rates, healthcare access, and food systems
      The importance of documentation in building a more just world
      Community as a resource beyond money
      Hope, resilience, and responsibility in challenging times

      Charles reminds us that climate change is not abstract. It is personal. It influences our communities, our health, and our future. And sometimes, the most powerful act of leadership is simply beginning.

      If you care about climate change, youth activism, social justice, sustainability, or writing for change, this conversation is for you.

      Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: A Radical Voice for Justice and Global Solidarity
      Jan 19 2026
      This episode explores the life, leadership, and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. beyond the familiar narratives. Through a pro-Black and Pan-African lens, the hosts examine Kings early life, intellectual formation, and the pivotal moments that shaped his role in the civil rights movement. The conversation highlights Kings global perspective, his evolving focus on economic justice, and his insistence that racism, poverty, and militarism are deeply interconnected. Rather than presenting Dr. King as a static symbol, this episode emphasizes his growth, his willingness to challenge power, and the continued relevance of his ideas in todays struggles for justice and dignity. Key Takeaways Dr. King was not only a leader of peaceful protest, but a radical and evolving thinker. His upbringing in faith and education strongly shaped his moral leadership. The Montgomery Bus Boycott marked a critical turning point in his public leadership. King understood the Black freedom struggle as part of a global movement. He consistently emphasized the connection between racism, poverty, and economic inequality. The I Have a Dream speech was the result of years of organizing and activism. The Nobel Peace Prize recognized both his moral authority and global influence. King expanded his work beyond civil rights legislation to focus on economic justice. His ideas continue to influence movements for justice around the world. Understanding MLK requires engaging with both the inspiration and the discomfort of his legacy.
