Nalleli Cobo grew up in South Central Los Angeles just 30 feet away from a polluting oil well. When Nalleli was nine she and her community started getting nose bleeds, nausea, headaches and asthma. Nalleli began a crusade to shutdown oil drilling in her neighborhood by focusing on the power of storytelling - shining a bright light on what was happening to her community. Nalleli fought a smart, tough campaign that eventually triumphed in getting the oil facility across from her permanently closed. Nalleli is now 20 and has spent more than half her life fighting oil drilling across LA. Nalleli’s willingness to share her story no matter how much pain it evokes is the embodiment of talking truth to power. Nalleli takes each day as it comes - bringing everything she has to the struggle. She lost her childhood so that others wouldn’t have to. In the process, Nalleli Cobo helped create the global climate youth movement, now the most powerful force for change on the planet.
