"I am river, I speak for all rivers. I journey through many places, winding, bending, and flowing in communities, marches, down mountains, and across valleys. Sometimes I struggle when I feel the splash of garbage cloud my view or the thickness of oil enter my blood. I try to understand why the humans are doing this, but it can be hard to make my voice heard over all the noise.” - Participant sharing from the session
