Kimberly Shearon

Kimberly is the Director of Strategic Communications at Ecojustice, where she leads the people who deliver Ecojustice’s communications, marketing, and digital strategy.

Born and raised in Vancouver, Kimberly is the eldest daughter of Chinese immigrants and a second-generation settler in Canada. Her professional and academic experiences have reinforced her conviction that systems transformation is rooted in people power and community wisdom — and that, especially in this moment, “the work” must be done with an anti-oppression lens and grounded in the values of inclusion, equity, and justice.

Before joining Ecojustice in 2010, she worked as a journalist and in several of Canada’s largest newsrooms.

Kimberly holds a Bachelor of Journalism degree from Carleton University and a Masters in Community Development from the University of Victoria. She is also an alumna of Minerva Foundation’s Women Leading the Way program and the Propel Leadership Institute at the University of Washington.
