The Storyteller’s Path to Climate Justice | Daze Aghaji

In this episode, Dave Erasmus and Matt Mason speak with Daze Aghaji – activist, storyteller, and Impact Champion at The Conduit, whose work spans climate justice, community healing, and regenerative culture.

Daze reflects on how her formative experiences in Tottenham and at a state boarding school in Skegness shaped her understanding of place, identity, and the deep links between environmental and social justice. They explore Daze’s political awakening as a teenager in North London, when chronic health issues led her to confront the environmental inequalities affecting her community – from air pollution and waste incineration to the broader impacts of poverty and neglected infrastructure.

Along the way, Daze discusses how nature became a refuge during moments of displacement, and why caring for the environment cannot be separated from caring for the people who live within it.

Together, they reflect on the role of lived experience in shaping activism, the importance of community resilience, and how storytelling can help people reconnect with both their environments and each other.
