My name is Nicole Muhire, and I've been with Youth for Planetary Health since the very first Zoom meeting. It has been an incredibly eye opening and inspiring experience! Having the opportunity to listen to and engage in conversations with professionals who educate us on various aspects of planetary health has helped me become more confident in expressing my own perspectives while encouraging me to think in a solution oriented way.
