Through print and digital journalism, Bluedot is building a movement that unites individuals and communities to make meaningful changes in their daily lives.In our conversation, Vicki reflects on her upbringing as the daughter of Hollywood legends Fay Wray and Robert Riskin, how their legacy shaped her belief in the common goodness of people, and the vital role media can play in inspiring collective action. We also discuss the urgent fight against climate change, the power of community-driven solutions, and why she believes storytelling is key to building a more sustainable and just world.Join me for this fascinating discussion with a visionary leader whose work continues to make an impact across industries and generations.Make sure to keep us with Vicki on her and Bluedot's websites.You can purchase her book about her incredible parents here.Also if you're local to the Santa Barbara area, make sure to check out Bluedot's Santa Barbara Green Guide.For more information on the podcast, upcoming events, projects, and more go to our website www.stacypulice.comYou can follow us on Instagram @stacypulice
