This episode features a conversation with youth climate activist and advocate of indigenous perspectives, Keshoe Isaiah. It was recorded at the end of June 2023.
Keshoe, who hails from Kenya’s Maasai community, works to amplify the voices of indigenous and local communities.
He is a member of Fridays For Future Kenya, contributes to Penn State’s UN-supported Global Youth Storytelling and Research Lab, serves as the country representative for Kenya at the youth-led Mock COP summit, and is also the Head of Environment and Climate Change at Kenya’s National Youth Caucus.
He currently studies economics and finance at The Catholic University of Eastern Africa, focusing on climate finance.
Amongst other things, Keshoe and I discussed the indivisibility of nature and culture within the Maasai community, the role of indigenous perspectives in conservation and adaptation, and the power of stories to carry important information across generations.
