The Lowell Lecture Series at the New England Aquarium welcomes Rhodes Scholar, climate activist, and entrepreneur Wawa Gatheru for a talk about climate activism. Gatheru will explore the intersection of climate change and environmental justice, why inclusive leadership matters in building climate solutions, and how we can reimagine the climate movement in our collective image. Gatheru is the founder and executive director of Black Girl Environmentalist—the only national organization dedicated to empowering Black girls, women, and gender-expansive people across the climate sector. Drawing on lessons learned building Black Girl Environmentalist—and her own personal climate advocacy journey—she will share what it takes to create a more accessible, representative, and impactful environmental movement.
This New England Aquarium Lowell Lecture Series event is made possible through the generosity of the Lowell Institute. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and the program starts at 6:30 p.m.
Virtual registration closes at 2:00 p.m. on April 29.
