She began her transition to a zero waste lifestyle in January 2016. Through Be Zero she works to bring awareness to environmental racism and to provide platforms for POCs in environmental communities, which are traditionally predominantly white spaces.

She does this by organizing community discussions that address, educate, and work to dismantle systemic oppression.
