Hi, My name is Ricardo👋🏼

This program has been a very important experience, it is the first time that I have participated in something like this.

I learned to share ideas and public speaking. The message about the contamination of the Duwamish River and the work that is being done to combat it was very important to me.

Meet the team!

Hi 👋🏼 my name is Chakriya, my pronouns are she/her. I am a healthcare professional working in the greater Seattle area and enjoy helping the community in that way. I enjoy the outdoors, passionate about animals, cooking, I love my family and friends, I write poetry and very interested in the arts, and very interested in knowing how I can help with the currently global crisis. That is why I joined Ignited Phoenix program.

I wanted to be apart of something that effects the current neighborhood I live in and helps bring awareness to environmental injustice.

My favorite thing about this program is that it not only brings realistic views on how the community is impacted but in a form of art which is also important to me. Being a part of this project has taught me a lot.

Thank you for being a part of the team Chakriya! 🥰 Happy to have you!

First day of filming and the group and I were all nervous, yet I was very impressed by our ability to have a conversation about the Environmental impacts in our communities, without any prior preperation. I think it shows that we are passionate and most importantly, that we care. I trust that this is only the beginning of something great that will have long lasting impacts❤️‍🔥
