Regeneration > Sustainability

My cousin plants seeds, both literal and metaphorical, for the future 🌱

She role models how to take real action to mitigate pollution, environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity—and maintain hope in the process.

Beatrice has worked with Tim Minchin, Green Music Australia, produced Adelaide Festival’s ‘Climate Crisis and the Arts’ and launched resources through Creative Climate Action. She’s currently informing Lime Cordiale’s documentary, ‘On The Road To A Better Tour’, amongst MANY other things.

I never know where she is in the world—and I miss her all the time—but it’s a small price to pay knowing she’s doing so much good. And not just in her work either; she’s also a generous and helpful friend to many.

Together, Bea and I have been to Cambodia, hiked unbelievable heights, ran many kilometres side by side, yelled at cows from a glamping tent, had difficult mental health conversations, and carried the coffin of one of our most music-loving, local-buying, creatively influential family members gone too soon.

I learn from Bea all the time, at such a fast rate, but here are three important things she’s taught me:

🌱 The future is regeneration, and artists/storytellers are an important part of that. We can choose to work differently and divest, at any scale, in any industry.
💃 Be bold. Leave imposter syndrome in the bin; you don’t need a title to make a difference and it's especially useless if you’re pioneering.
👕 Cute outfits don’t need to hurt the planet; you can be a secondhand fashionista (or borrow every single one of your outfits from your friends/family 🤔).

My cousin and I both love live music. She is now Impact Manager at FEAT., an artist-led climate innovations agency that mobilises the cultural and financial power of the entertainment industry to better our world #NoMusicOnADeadPlanet

Bea is one of the brightest stars in an often dark sky. I’m so lucky to have her silliness attached by blood, and be part of her big, bold career.
