She stands on the shoulders of her mother, Marie Harrison. Her advocacy is up close and personal. Her inspirational leadership is creating a new generation of climate change advocates and nurturing youth to stand up for environmental justice and demand change in their communities. Arieann is unapologetic for speaking truth to power. Her effective communication to ALL generations creates awareness of the health disparities and the social/economic injustices over time. Her historical perspective on the changes (and lack thereof) in Bayview Hunter's Point provide tangible evidence of harm that the community schools often fail to convey in meaningful, relatable ways. Her legacy is empowerment and teaching a new generation about the threat of climate change, sea level rise, air, water and soil quality and their role in demanding change in their community to address these issues and mitigate the damage."
