"There are simply not enough African female role models in the environmental space. If you ask anyone which women are well known in this space, they’ll tell you Jane Goodall. Yes, she has done tremendous work, but she is not African and has hardly spent time on the continent. Wangari Maathai occasionally comes up, but the point is, women are just not visible, and yet there are so many who are doing amazing things. We thought, is there a way to make them more visible and, at the same time, create a greater impact on our environment."
