Wawa Gatheru is an environmental justice advocate, writer and current graduate student at the University of Oxford. She is a first generation American of Kenyan descent and the first Black person in history to receive the Rhodes, Truman and Udall Scholarships. She's also the founder of Black Girl Environmentalist.
"As an environmental justice advocate, advocating for and protecting people + planet includes my own body, my temple... There was a time where I did not think SPF was as necessary for me, as I am a dark skinned Black woman... I see protecting my skin as an integral part of showing myself the love I deserve."
