Breaking Green Ceilings

I started the Breaking Green Ceilings podcast in 2020 at a time in my life when I felt most isolated in my profession in the water and environmental sector. I was often the only one of my kind in the room and I grew tired of it. I was yearning for a connection with a community that was diverse in every way and shared similar values around environmental and social justice issues.

After a long discovery process, I found that in 2020 there weren't any podcasts that center on the voices of environmentalists of color and how various identities and areas of study and philosophies intersect with environmental issues and solutions.

Breaking Green Ceilings is for those changemakers who are taking matters into their own hands and adding a different perspective to our environmental challenges.

I bring my curiosity about people's stories and academic background in environmental studies, international relations, and sustainable international development to help facilitate conversations that broaden perspectives and inspire collaboration and inclusion, and most importantly elevate the expertise of people who have been pushed to the margins of our society.

I also bring my Kenyan Indian identity and experience of living and working in the U.S. for two decades. I am also an independent consultant working in the water sector to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. You can learn more about my business - Water Savvy Solutions.
