About Me
Hi! My name is Aila :) I'm a freelance outdoor writer, public speaker and activist. I care deeply about the landscapes that have shaped me. My writing is a deep appreciation for the earth and a call for action in equal parts. I have worked with public figures such as Paul McCartney and Benedict Cumberbatch to draw attention to the climate catastrophe threatening our collective home, and appeared in a variety of media including BBC Newsnight, CNN and Vogue.
My main interests are mountain activism (highlighting the issues currently facing upland environments) and collective resilience. I believe that the power of the planet is conjoined with the power of the people. Through both writing and public speaking, I use my voice to uplift the voices of others, from marginalised communities to parts of the natural environment that cannot speak for themselves. In a world on the brink of total collapse, every person matters. Every word matters. |
Name Change
