Reply to comment by Twilight1234567 in I spent a year preparing for a reporting trip from Senegal to Morocco to Spain. My team and I set out to connect three of the biggest stories of our time: climate change, global migration, and the rise of far-right political leaders. Now that we’re back, AMA! by npr

Everywhere I go, I find stories that give me hope. In Senegal, these hip hop artists talked about giving "young people weapons to combat the system, to combat poverty." At the UN climate summit in Glasgow, a young Samoan activist named Breanna Fruean taught me the refrain, "We are not drowning; we're fighting." The artist Taylor Mac once told me that things are cyclical, but you can always find people fighting to make the world better. Those are the people I look for in my reporting.
