What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of the environmental sector? Probably old men and women sitting at round tables and discussing the impending effects of climate change. Boring right? Ever heard of Youth Leaders in Conservation? I’ll take a pause here to introduce our guest for today.
18 years ago, one woman changed the narrative and made not just young people interested in advocating and working for the environment but also proved that people of color can be successful in the environmental sector. Today, we have the privilege of sitting down with a remarkable individual whose unwavering dedication to environmental justice has inspired countless individuals around the world. Please join me in giving a warm welcome to Angelou Ezeilo, the visionary founder of the Greening Youth Foundation, she’s also the author of Engage, Connect, Protect: Empowering Diverse Youth as Environmental Leaders.
