Dominique, a dynamic Climate Justice Activist from the U.K., is a driving force in global climate action. She coordinates Climate Live, empowering youth through music-led education. Dominique advocates for equitable climate action on the Youth Climate Justice Fund's Steering Committee and amplifies voices in #StopRosebank. Passionate about using storytelling for climate communication, Dominique was inspired by air pollution's impact on her community, leading her to organize the September 2019 climate strikes in the U.K. Her impactful advocacy earned her recognition as a 'Young Leader' at the 2023 Green Carpet Fashion Awards and inclusion in Forbes' 2020 Top U.K. Environmentalists List. Dominique's speeches at prestigious events like COP26 and the Southbank Centre, alongside changemakers like Emma Watson and Greta Thunberg, inspire action.

A recent Political Science and International Relations graduate from the University of Birmingham, Dominique explored the intersection of climate change and gender in her dissertation, advancing environmental and social justice.
