Cloud People explores the invisible weight of climate change — and how its consequences fall unevenly.

In this series, African Americans are not just bystanders to environmental collapse — they are often the most vulnerable. From toxic air in urban zones to flooding in under-resourced neighborhoods, Cloud People captures what happens when the sky turns its back on those already left behind.

The term “cloud” speaks not only to the climate itself, but to the blurred attention society gives to those disproportionately affected.

They breathe the worst air, drink the riskiest water, and live on land that’s treated as disposable. And still — they are expected to adapt, survive, and stay silent.

Some clouds bring rain. Others bring erasure.
