Upcoming Monthly Program
Maris Masellis | Tennessee Environmental Council
Friday, January 3, 2025 | 7:30am - 9:00am
Maris Masellis is the Communications Manager at the Tennessee Environmental Council. Driven by a lifelong passion for protecting the environment, Maris embarked on a personal sustainability journey that led her to Nashville, where she sought a community of like-minded individuals.
Finding her "sustainability family" in TWIG, Maris was inspired to pursue her environmental passions. She launched her sustainability podcast, Critical Root Zone, which later elevated her to a Lululemon ambassador. Maris is also an Eco-DJ, using music as a unique way to connect people to themselves and others and, ultimately, the natural world around them. This passion for creative expression led her to become an engaging MC for environmental summits and events, where she shares her contagious energy and passion with others.
Currently, Maris is actively involved in a crucial statewide initiative: working with TEC and partners to pass legislation in the 2025 session that will expand recycling access across the entire state of Tennessee.
TWIG provides the opportunity to network with other sustainability-minded women and learn about sustainable businesses, organizations, and initiatives across the state.
Tennessee Women In Green is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that connects women in Middle Tennessee and beyond through environmental sustainability. TWIG aims to empower, inspire, and connect women through a variety of programs from monthly speakers and scholarships opportunities to volunteering and social events. Although our mission is centered around women, we are inclusive to all people from all different backgrounds. Whether you just began your journey towards sustainability or are interested in learning more about the community, we welcome you to join us!
