Hi, I'm Gigi Howard, I'm a librarian and host of the podcast Drinks in the Library. My why is sharing the importance of books and promoting reading in a fun way. My brand is Warm. Fun. Fancy. I would say I'm still climbing cringe mountain, but I am proud of a recent post I did of a picture of the mission I wrote up when I started the podcast 3 years ago. I am not ever going to be a hot-takes person, it just isn't me, so my podcast I think feels like a warm hug. hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/p/DdwntSyKDfu/?hl=en

Hi all! I'm a longtime journalist who has reported on climate change and how it impacts where we live for more than a decade. I've written on this climate migration beat for the The Guardian, the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Orion, The Nation, and more. A few years ago I sold my first book to a Big 5 publisher and have been working on it since. It's a road-trip story, one that takes the reader along with me across an uprooted America. Just recently, I joined the staff at The Progressive magazine as managing editor. I've been chomping at the bit to create video content at the confluence of U.S. history and politics, ecology, land use, and climate change—through a radical/critical/left/socialist lens. I've gone so far as to write scripts and shoot footage, but then stall out. My ears perked up when Franchesca mentioned something like this awhile ago, so I'm thrilled to join in now with this distinguished group of creative people. My Why: Reporting true and urgent stories about the uncertain places we call home. My Brand Pillars (going for style here, as I hope these apply to my content across topics): Political Insightful Down-to-Earth I haven't really produced social media video content, but here's an article I wrote that I'm proud of: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/26/there-are-no-climate-havens
