Krystle Edwards
Director of Campaigns and Engagement, The Center for Cultural Power
Krystle Edwards, MPH, MSc, leads artist-driven campaigns and cultural activations that connect climate justice, health equity, economic opportunity, and community power. One campaign she leads is Rooted in Joy, a national initiative that uses art, storytelling, and joyful engagement to make climate action feel personal, accessible, and possible. Her work approaches climate not as a stand-alone issue, but as a force shaping people’s health, livelihoods, neighborhoods, and futures. A campaign strategist, facilitator, and storyteller, Krystle helps people translate complex ideas, including visions for a more just and inclusive green economy, into clear, compelling narratives that move audiences to care and act. Her work is grounded in the belief that joy is a strategy and that powerful stories can help communities imagine and build more equitable futures.
