In today’s episode, we’re joined by CK Westbrook, a science fiction author, environmentalist, and long-time Washington DC resident. CK is the author of The Impact Series, a four-book (and growing!) collection of speculative novels that weave together themes of politics, environmental crisis, and veganism. Her main characters are always vegan, reflecting her own lifestyle and her belief in normalizing plant-based choices through storytelling.

Beyond her writing, CK has spent more than two decades working in environmental policy and advocacy in Washington DC. When she’s not writing or lobbying, she’s traveling—having visited all fifty states and all seven continents. In this conversation, CK shares her perspective on DC’s vegan food scene, the cultural and political life of the city, and how her creative writing intersects with her environmental activism
