The Imperfect Activist
Because we don’t need 100 perfect activists — we need millions of imperfect ones. – Clover Hogan Welcome to The Imperfect Activist, a brave space for youth, by youth, where we unpack the raw, real, and sometimes uncomfortable truths of activism, advocacy, and changemaking. From environmental justice to social equity, we dive into the “wicked problems” shaping our generation while navigating the very real challenges of growing up and stepping into our power. Through honest conversations, hot takes, and tough questions, we aim to strengthen our collective impact and redefine true solidarity. Whether you’re an experienced organiser, curious newcomer, or an ally eager to support youth-led change — this podcast is for you. Because creating change isn’t about being flawless. It’s about showing up, learning, and growing - together.
