Life in the Permian Basin: Growing Up with Oil & Gas
Description
In this episode of Yapping with YUCCA, we dive deep into the realities of life in the Permian Basin with hosts Savanna & Ennedith and special guests Xiuy & Jozee. Xiuy and Jozee share their personal experiences growing up in Carlsbad, NM, a community at the heart of New Mexico’s oil and gas boom. From witnessing environmental destruction firsthand to the industry’s deep ties to the local economy, we unpack the harsh truths of living in a fossil fuel sacrifice zone. Listener Advisory: This episode contains explicit language as our guests keep it real about their frustrations with corporate greed, environmental racism, pollution, and the fight for climate justice. Tune in for an unfiltered conversation that sheds light on the cost of the oil and gas industry—and how young organizers are rising up to fight for a better future.
