LONDON It’s in the Kennedy genes to campaign.

She’s the second child of U.S. ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy and artist Edwin Schlossberg. She has two siblings, Rose and John, otherwise known as Jack.

Born in May 1990 in New York, Tatiana attended Yale University and later completed her master’s degree in American History at the University of Oxford in England. 

She was previously The New York Times’ climate and science writer. Her work has also been featured in The Washington Post, Vanity Fair and Bloomberg.

In 2019, she published her book “Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have.” The book delves deep into how daily human uses such as fuel, food, fashion, internet and technology actively contribute to the environmental problem.  

She received the Rachel Carson Environment Book Award in 2020, an international environmental award in honor of environmentalist Rachel Carson.

“Throughout my life, I have been able to connect with my grandfather through the study of history, which I know he loved both studying his life and studying the eras and patterns that fascinated him. To me, that is where he lives as a historical figure rooted in the past but also as a person connected to so much of what came after him through his writings and from the stories my relatives have told me,” said Schlossberg during a family video honoring her grandfather’s 100th birthday.
