Wangari Maathai was not just a name; she was a blazing beacon of hope, a fierce warrior for the earth, a relentless advocate for justice in every leaf and every tree. From the heart of Kenya, she rose, weaving a tapestry of life and resilience through her groundbreaking Green Belt Movement. With every seed planted, she breathed life into the soil, intertwining the fight for environmental conservation with a passionate plea for human dignity. Her indomitable spirit shone brightly when she was honored with the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004, a monumental moment that made her the first African woman to grasp this prestigious accolade.

Wangari says about herself, my passion for working on wellness awareness came from two life-altering events, moments of profound upheaval that nudged me toward the path of healing and self-discovery. The first event arose when I found the courage to raise my voice against unequal pay. Standing up against the establishment was daunting, made worse by the intense backlash stemming from dehumanizing treatment. The second event arrived when my almost 30 year marriage ended. Suddenly, I was standing at the precipice of my 50s, left with the task of redefining my identity beyond what had always anchored me. As I worked through these major changes, I sought healing through formal therapy, enriching my soul with meditation, purposeful travel, and healthy living.  I bring to you not only my life experiences but also my professional expertise in global training and development which includes designing and leading retreats and workshops for diverse participants and my many years of effective coaching.

La keniana Wangari Muta Maathai è stata la prima donna africana a vincere, nel 2004, il Premio Nobel per la pace, per “il suo contributo allo sviluppo sostenibile, alla democrazia e alla pace”. Per la prima volta, dandole questo premio, il comitato per il Nobel ha inoltre tracciato un collegamento tra ambiente, pace e diritti delle donne. Con il Green Belt Movement, Wangari ha piantato decine di milioni di alberi in tutta l'Africa Orientale e ha ispirato iniziative ambientaliste che hanno decisamente anticipato i tempi. Ma non solo, ha avuto anche il coraggio di criticare la corruzione, pagando con violenze, diffamazione e carcere.Ospite della puntata: Anna Pozzi

Today, I celebrate one of my all-time favorite conservation heroines, Wangari Maathai by reading her memoir Unbowed. I loved learning about Wangari's childhood, her past experiences and how they shaped her destiny to become a strong, independent woman who championed the environment and communities of Kenya. We delve into some big ideas like understanding others' pasts, turning obstacles into opportunities, and doing what you can, no matter who you are.

This week we're bringing back one of our favorite climate-activist-Broads to help us celebrate Earth day! Chloe (fka Justin) brings us the story of a woman who not only won the Nobel Prize for founding a movement that planted over 20 MILLION trees worldwide, but also brought Democracy to Kenya… but it took nearly her entire life to do it. After earning her doctorate, she first got involved as an activist for Women's rights and politics. After an unfounded scandal brought forth from her ex husband, she lost her job, her home, and had to start again. The story is filled with tragedy but ultimately ends in an uplifiting message to never, ever give up. Wangari is an inspiration to many, and is absolutely a broad you owe it to yourself to get to know.

Wangari Maathai dedicated her life to improving the world in as many ways as possible. With founding the Green Belt Movement, she wanted to empower the people to examine their situations and take the necessary actions to change them. Wangari believed that through environmental activism we can promote peace by working together to preserve the resources we have around us. Her work garnered international recognition while also putting her in the direct firing line of regimes who wanted her to sit down and be quiet like a "proper woman" should. ofherstory.com Instagram: @womenofherstorypodcast Twitter- @theherstorypod TikTok- @ womenofherstory Facebook- Women of HERstory

Wangari Maathai nasceu na área rural de Nyeri no Quênia, no dia primeiro de abril de 1940. Estudou em ambientes católicos durante toda a vida e, após concluir estudos em estudos em escolas só para meninas, recebeu a oportunidade de viajar para os EUA e estudar na St Scholastica College em Atechison, Kansas, onde adquiriu o diploma em Ciências Biológicas. Wangari sempre foi apaixonada pela riqueza e diversidade de sua terra natal, quando criança brincava por entre nascentes de rios e aprendera a respeitar as forças naturais.

Once upon a time, Wangari Maathai saved Planet Earth. When people say they want to “diversify” the environmental movement, I cough on the arrogance. Black women, indigenous women, and women of color around the globe are saving the planet. Like, right now. Like this actual second. Planting, cultivating, harvesting, carrying, selling, cooking, composting, turning over soil, and doing it again. And no disrespect to the card-carrying climate change activists – the Paris Agreement is essential – but please understand that while you are carrying protest signs, millions of African women are carrying seeds and meticulously tied bundles of the harvest to markets (with no carbon footprint) where they will sell locally. Those same women will cook into the night, and compost what’s left, to grow what is needed the next day to save their nations. Today’s walk is dedicated to the legacy of Wangari Maathai for organizing women to plant 50 MILLION TREES to save Kenya from the brink of environmental devastation. Her “Green Belt Movement” changed the very air, the earth, and the water of the continent of Africa forever. We are proud of that. But we are prouder of how she did it. How she showed up in the quiet moments when no one was watching. How she survived the Mau Mau Uprising. How she protested to free political prisoners. How she summoned the courage to stand in the front of bulldozers and speak on camera with a bloodied face. Oh, and she won the Nobel Peace Prize. But I guess she should’ve been at the climate march. Join today’s conversation so that I can fix my attitude. Let’s breathe some fresh air, sing at the top of our lungs, and rally ourselves to all be a little more like Wangari.Join the second edition of GirlTrek’s Black History Bootcamp at blackhistorybootcamp.com to receive specially curated emails with inspiring words, survival tips, speeches + dedicated songs to listen to for each episode.

Today we read about how Wangari inspired the Green Belt Movement.

Wangari Maathai was a distinguished environmentalist born in Kenya during British colonial rule. As a well-educated black woman, she used her knowledge and experience to educate and mobilise others in her community to fight for change, but faced numerous challenges: from discrimination at work to threats from the Kenyan government. Her determination and fearlessness never waned as she continued to fight for the environment, human rights and democracy in Kenya. In 2004, she became the first black African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Today we celebrate the one year anniversary of the show and the man who wrote a flora of the Middle East. We'll learn about the German botanist who discovered mitosis and chloroplasts. We celebrate the 93rd birthday of an English-Australian gardener who learned to garden and survived during World War II. We'll honor the tremendous work of Kenya's garden activist and founder of the Green Belt Movement. Today's Unearthed Words feature words about April. We Grow That Garden Library™ with a book that was released 16 years ago today. And then, we'll wrap things up with the fascinating story of a whiskey baron who used his wealth to create an arboretum that is home to America's largest collection of Holly trees. But first, let's catch up on some Greetings from Gardeners Around the World and today's curated news.   Subscribe Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher | iHeart   Gardener Greetings Well, it's hard to believe that the show is already a year old. I started the show on April 1st because this month's name came from the Latin word aperio, meaning "to open [bud]," - so it was the perfect time to start something new. Plants outside and in are really beginning to grow now. Daisy and Sweet Pea are this month's birth flowers. To participate in the Gardener Greetings segment, send your garden pics, stories, birthday wishes and so forth to Jennifer@theDailyGardener.org And, to listen to the show while you're at home, just ask Alexa or Google to play The Daily Gardener Podcast. It's that easy.   Curated News In chaotic times, gardening becomes therapy | Cleveland.com "As spring's arrival in the Northern Hemisphere coincides with government stay-at-home orders, the itch to get outside has turned backyard gardens into a getaway for the mind in chaotic times. Gardeners who already know that working with soil is a way to connect with nature say it helps take away their worries, at least temporarily. "I love to see things grow," Lindsay Waldrop said. "It's incredibly therapeutic." Families, too, are discovering that gardening gives cooped-up kids something to do, builds their self-esteem and brings variety to what has suddenly become a lot of time spent together. This home-grown attitude goes back to World War II when millions of people cultivated victory gardens to protect against potential food shortages while boosting patriotism and morale. Hollie Niblett, who lives near Kansas City, Kansas, hopes the victory gardens come back. Niblett, who has a degree in horticultural therapy, tends to a kitchen garden near her backdoor, perennial flowers, flowering trees and shrubs, and upper and lower grassy yards connected by a path through an area left in its natural condition. "There are so many things about it that feed my soul," she said. "Right now, more than anything, my garden gives me hope, gives me purpose, and provides a sense of connection to something bigger than myself."   811 - Call Before You Dig - And, right now - Don't.

Westerners were delighted because, for the first time, it was written in English, and they could understand it. George botanized in Syria, which is where he lived most of his life. He was in Syria, serving as a missionary and doctor. In his spare time, he would be off collecting plants and working on his Flora. George was a man who had tremendous energy and stamina. He worked long hours, and many colleagues acknowledged that he accomplished more than most folks in a 24-hour period. In his personal life, it turns out that George had the ability to fall asleep quickly, which no doubt helped him recharge on-demand and as needed. One account of George's tremendous lust for life and for plant collecting relayed that he would go off into the mountains on horseback. The story goes that George was such a good horseman, he could collect specimens without getting off his horse. He was allegedly able to lean below his saddle and reach way down to cut and collect a specimen. Then, he'd just sit back up and go on his way. At the end of his life, George was aware that his body was worn out, and he said something to that effect in the days before he died. Around that same time, he received a visitor who knew just how to revive his spirits. The guest placed a few pieces of ripe wheat in his hand as a symbol of the harvest and of the specimens George had spent a lifetime studying. It also served as a reminder of the treasured bible passage: "To everything, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted."   1805  Today is the birthday of the German botanist Hugo von Mohl. The greatest "botanist of his day," it said in one newspaper. A German botanist, he was the first to propose that new cells are formed by cell division. Mitosis was discovered by Hugo von Mohl. And, in 1837, he discovered chloroplasts - something von Mohl called Chlorophyllkörnen, which translates to "a grain a chlorophyll." Forty-seven years later, the Polish-German botanist Eduard Strasburger shortened the term Chlorophyllkörnen to Chloroplast. Von Mohl described chloroplasts as discrete bodies within the green plant cell. Today we know that chloroplasts are the food producers of the cell. Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells, and they convert light energy from the sun into sugar; so without chloroplasts, there would be no photosynthesis. In 1846, von Mohl described the sap in plant cells as "the living substance of the cell," and he also created the word "protoplasm."   1927  Today is the 93rd birthday of English-born Australian horticulturalist, conservationist, author, broadcaster, and television personality Peter Cundall. A Tasmanian gardener, Peter was the friendly host of the long-running TV show Gardening Australia - one of the first shows committed to 100% organic practices and practical advice. Peter inspired both young and old to the garden. In his epic "lemon tree episode," Peter got a little carried away and essentially finished pruning when the tree was little more than a stump. Thereafter, Cundallisation was synonymous with over-pruning. Peter learned to garden as a little boy. His first garden was a vegetable patch on top of an air raid shelter in Manchester, England. His family was impoverished. His father was an abusive alcoholic. Two of his siblings died of malnutrition. Through it all, the garden brought stability, nourishment, and reprieve. Of that time, Peter's recalls, "Lying in bed in the morning waiting for it to be light, so I could go out and get going in my garden. I used to think there was some gas given out by the soil that produced happiness."   1940  Today is the birthday of the Kenyan ecologist and first female Kenyan Ph.D. and professor Wangari Maathai ("One-Garry" - rhymes with starry - "Ma-TH-EYE") Wangari was the founder of the Green Belt Movement. She fought for environmental protection and women's empowerment by working with communities to plant "green belts" of trees. Today, the Green Belt Movement has planted "over 45 million trees across Kenya to combat deforestation, stop soil erosion, and generate income for women and their families." In 2004, Wangari became the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel committee recognized "her contribution to sustainable development, democracy, and peace." Wangari authored four books: The Green Belt Movement, Unbowed: A Memoir; The Challenge for Africa; and Replenishing the Earth. Wangari died from ovarian cancer in 2011 at the age of 71. Wangari said, "We think that diamonds are very important, gold is very important, all these minerals are very important. We call them precious minerals, but they are all forms of the soil. But that part of this mineral that is on top, like it is the skin of the earth, that is the most precious of the commons." "Using trees as a symbol of peace is in keeping with a widespread African tradition. For example, the elders of the Kikuyu carried a staff from the thigi tree that, when placed between two disputing sides, caused them to stop fighting and seek reconciliation. Many communities in Africa have these traditions." "When we plant trees, we plant the seeds of peace and hope."   Unearthed Words Here are some poignant words about this time of year.   The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year. — Mark Twain, American writer & humorist   "The first of April, some do say, Is set apart for All Fools' Day. But why the people call it so, Nor I, nor they themselves do know. But on this day are people sent On purpose for pure merriment." — Poor Robin's Almanac, 1790   The April winds are magical, And thrill our tuneful frames; The garden walks are passional To bachelors and dames." ― Ralph Waldo Emerson, American essayist and poet   Men are April when they woo,  December when they wed;  Maids are May when they are maids,  but the sky changes when they are wives. — Shakespeare, As You Like It, Act IV Scene 1   "[W] ell-apparell'd April on the heel Of limping winter treads…" — Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, Act 1 Scene 2    Grow That Garden Library On the Wild Side by Keith Wiley It's hard to believe that this book was published on this day already sixteen years ago in 2004. The subtitle to this book is "Experiments in the New Naturalism." Keith created his own wild garden in the early 2000s after being inspired by rural England. He also discovered an entire world of influence as he studied New England roadsides, the Colorado Rockies, Swiss Alpine Meadows, and the South African savannas. In this book, Keith strives to capture "only the spirit of wild plantings and never attempt to replicate exactly any landscape or combination of plants." Keith has learned to focus on form, color, and placement of plants. His attention to detail is what makes his approach work so well. Keith was an early advocate of grouping plants into plant communities. He loves it when plants self-seed - especially when they create beauty in unanticipated ways. Keith's book shares many of his favorite plants and plant groupings. He offers tons of advice and ideas for gardens. in this book, he's hoping to inspire us to get creative, "freeing your own creative inner spirit from the straitjacket of horticultural tradition." You can get a used copy of On the Wild Side by Keith Wiley and support the show, using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for under $8.   Today's Botanic Spark 1945  Today is the anniversary of the death of American businessman Isaac Wolfe Bernheim. Bernheim made a fortune selling and distilling whiskey - and in turn, he used some of his wealth to create the Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest. In 1931, the Frederick Law Olmsted firm was asked to design the park. They created roadways, paths, and natural areas, planted trees, and turned the farmland back into meadows, lawns, and forest. Sparing no expense, Bernheim provided the capital to add lakes, rivers, and ponds for "an enlivening effect." Nineteen years later, in 1950, the Bernheim Forest officially opened and was ultimately given to the people of Kentucky in trust. Bernheim is the largest privately-owned natural area in Kentucky. Today, the arboretum's holly collection is among the best in North America, with more than 700 specimens representing over 350 individual species and cultivars. Love is like the wild rose-brier; Friendship like the holly tree. The holly is dark when the rose-brier blooms, But which will bloom most constantly? — Emily Brontë, author The holly collection features 176 American Holly (Ilex opaca), 44 Japanese Holly (Ilex crenata), over 50 deciduous hollies (Ilex decidua, Ilex verticillata, Ilex serrata, and hybrids), and 19 cultivars of Inkberry (Ilex glabra) - as well as many specialty hybrids. The arboretum is also home to maples, crab apples, conifers (including dwarf conifers), oaks, buckeyes, ginkgoes, ornamental pears and dogwoods. There is also a sun and shade trail, a quiet garden, and a garden pavilion. By 1994, the State of Kentucky made Bernheim the state's official arboretum. A true visionary, Bernheim wrote that "nothing is static in this world." He appreciated that the natural world was constantly going through continuous change. He believed that people needed to spend time connecting with nature. In August of 1939, Bernheim set up some conditions for his forest in a letter to the trustees, and he proposed the following rules for the forest: No discussion of religion or politics, no trading or trafficking. . . No distinction will be shown between rich or poor, white or colored. My vision embraces an edifice, beautiful in design,... It may be made of marble or of native stone. . . . Within it, there will be an art gallery . . . . Therein there will be busts in bronze of men and women whose names have risen to places of distinctive honor in Kentucky. A museum of natural history containing specimens of every animal … of this hemisphere... . . . a tall steel pole … will float the American Flag… [and] children… will be told the story of liberty. To all, I send the invitation to come . . . to re-create their lives in the enjoyment of nature . . . in the park which I have dedicated ... and which I hope will be kept forever free.

Near to where I live in Nairobi is a Japanese cafe.Whenever I've been the food has been delicious, and the small place is full of people from Japan, enjoying Ramen bowls and cold imported beer.I thought it would be interesting to interview the owner to learn about how the business started.It turns out that the owner Wangari and her husband have cornered down a niche market in the city.Both were born and raised in Kenya, independently decided to learn Japanese as kids and ended up getting married after a mutual friend introduced them so they could connect on the shared love for JapanToday they run a diverse portfolio of businesses to serve Japanese consumers in Kenya.In the interview we discuss how their businesses came to be, the interplay of owning a safari company, supermarket, cafe and farm all geared towards the Japanese market, and practicalities of, for example, selling Bento boxes in Nairobi.It's a really interesting example of finding a business area that's aligned with your personal interests and skill set, and then occupying that niche to very high standard.READ MORE AT:https://theeastafricabusinesspodcast.com/2019/09/19/how-a-kenyan-couple-captured-the-japanese-market-in-kenya-with-wangari-wachira/

This week Dana and guest host Leah tell the stories of Virginia Apgar, inventor of the Apgar test for new borns, and Wangari Maathai, Mother of trees.

Une vie extraordinaire qui rime avec "première", son action a été récompensée par un nombre incalculable de prix dont le Nobel de la paix, et par les jardins restés verts de Nairobi et du Kenya

Extraordinary woman. Probably one of the most known kenyan women. Her name rimes with number 1 in every aspect of her life. Won peace Nobel prize several other prizes and recognitions. 

Bishop Margaret Wangari reveals the power of listening to and obeying the voice of the Lord.  When we try to fight our own battles, when we fail to forgive those who have abused us, we will live defeated lives.  When we allow the Lord to fight for us we will prevail and we will be compensated.

Story time with Katie & Allie. Grab a glass and pour a drink. Let’s talk Wangari Maathai & Jane Goodall.

Welcome to Audible Café, where we get together to talk about nature, wildlife, wilderness, conservation, environmental protection, climate change, and things related. Today, I’m airing my interview with Jennifer Browdy, who is a writer, teacher, editor, and coach. She is deeply committed to opening up conversations in person and online that are relevant to our times, and to helping others find expression through their writing. Memoir is a grassroots sort of genre, inviting anyone and everyone to tease out the significance of the ordinary moments that, day by day, compose a life. Jennifer Browdy Jennifer’s books include “What I Forgot….and Why I Remembered: A Journey to Environmental Awareness and Activism Through Purposeful Memoir”published in 2017, which was a Finalist in Autobiography/Memoir in the 2018 International Book Awards. Jennifer also wrote the companion book for writers of purposeful memoir, which was a winner of a 2017 Nautilus Silver Award for creative process. Prior to that, she was co-editor with Jana Laiz and Sahra Bateson Brubeck of "Writing Fire: An Anthology Celebrating the Power of Women’s Words." All three of these books were published by Green Fire Press, an independent publishing company that Jennifer runs with her business partner, Jana Laiz. Earlier in her career, Jennifer edited two powerful compilations of women writing resistance. Her current project - called “Worldwrights” - a term Jennifer coined - will distill “lessons in life and leadership” from 15 inspiring writer-activists who have used writing to right the world, and who have also written memoirs. I can’t wait for that book to come out, because Jennifer has chosen a number of outstanding leaders from social and environmental justice movements for this project, including former President Barack Obama, Jane Goodall, Eve Ensler, Audre Lorde, Wangari Maathai, Rigoberta Menchu, Malidoma Some, Sandra Steingraber, Terry Tempest Williams, John Perkins, and more. I talked with Jennifer earlier this month while she was still on her summer writing retreat. I appreciate her taking the time to talk with me when that kind of time away from the day-to-day grind is so precious. You can start exploring Jennifer’s writing and find her workshops and more at her website (see below). She’s offering online workshops and coaching for those of you not located near western Massachusetts. Thank you so much for listening to Audible Café!

The Freedom Train Network is celebrating black women for the entire month of May. So we will be celebrating and teaching you about great black women of the African diaspora. This episode we are focusing on Professor Wangari Muta Maathai.​Wangari Muta Maathai was born on April 1st, 1940 in the village of Ihithe in the Nyeri District of Kenya. Around 1943 her family moved to a White-owned farm where her father had found work, she lived there until 1947 when her mother returned to Ihithe so [...]

Dr. Mathaai was an internationally renowned Kenyan environmental political activist became the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for "her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace." Maathai was an elected member of Parliament and served as assistant minister for Environment and Natural resources. But wouldn't you know it, her (ex)husband and the judge had some opinions about her role as "wife."

I attended an event in Tampa for International Women's Day and the speaker, Lorna Taylor, told the story of Wangari Maathai. It truly moved me. Today, I am sharing that story with you but Lorna should get all the credit. I hope you find Wangari's story as powerful as I did.
