Expertise: Climate Activist
Winnie Cheche is a young conservationist, blogger, climate activist, and volunteer from Nairobi, Kenya and Communication Lead at Kenya Environmental Action Network. Growing up in extreme poverty had silenced her for a great part of her life; but, her passion for wildlife and nature helped her find her voice again – one of the loudest voices in the African youth climate movement. Her activism journey started off online with tweets and posts on matters concerning wildlife welfare and climate change issues. Making social media posts grew into writing blogs and thought leadership, and eventually handling communication strategies for one of the organisations leading the Kenyan climate justice movement.
I Grew Up in Extreme Poverty and It Silenced Me. Defending Our Planet Gave Me Back My Voice.
