Wangari Maathai
The Woman Who Planted 51 Million Trees
The earth speaks through every tree we plant.
From the red soil of Ihithe to the halls of the University of Nairobi, I have walked a path carved by roots and resilience. I speak for the land, for the women, for the children not yet born who will walk beneath the trees we plant today. If you listen closely, you can hear the soil remember.
What I'm Into: the whisper of saplings, mountain rains on my skin, women’s laughter in the fields, a hole dug by hand, Kenya’s green heart
