In this episode of \"Making the Difference,\" host Kirsty Gilchrist talks with Rebecca Douglas, a visual storyteller and environmental advocate who connects visionaries, changemakers, and conscious brands to nature through her photography, speaking, and writing. We explore her journey from developing film as a teenager to becoming shortlisted for Ocean Photographer of the Year 2024.
Rebecca wants to help people to see the challenges of the climate crisis in a different light through her visual story telling in order that people can begin to think differently in what and how they do it.
Key Takeaways:
- The importance of aligning your work with your values for impactful storytelling.
- How reconnecting with nature can inspire profound personal and societal changes.

Ultimately, Rebecca envisions a world where authentic storytelling reconnects people to nature, sparking curiosity, awe, and actionable change.
