It is #blackhistorymonth and today we are honoring Vanessa Nakate, a Ugandan climate justice activist from Kampala who has inspired us and many more people across the globe! :vanessa: :earth:
Nakate started her journey as a climate activist in 2018 after becoming aware of the effects of climate change on the livelihoods of many Ugandans. Later, she founded the Youth for Future Africa and the Africa-based Rise Up Movement. In addition, she is the leader of Uganda’s first Fridays for Future climate strikes.
Thought her activism, she raises awareness about the implications and causes of climate change. She is a hardworking and determined activist who aims to bring the voices and experiences of people in the Global South to the global arena.
