In this new episode, I'm chatting with Nashipae 'Nash' Orumoy, the Director of Strategic Communications and Marketing, African Wildlife Foundation (AWF). We talk through her upbringing in Ngong and Kajiado, her career path moving from banking & insurance into the conservation world, and what her typical workday looks like in her current role. We also dive into how AWF is building on Africa's perspectives in conservation through storytelling, the need to have locally driven and produced stories and communications as a strategic role, that is rooted in what people believe in. Listen in to the end to hear her special advice to young people who are looking to have a positive impact in their respective fields. EnjoyEnjoy🎙️💚

In this new Podcast, the first one of the year in 2025, I'm super delighted to be chatting with Jane Nashipae a former accountant who was married in the Maasai Mara and found her big passion for serving and leading her community in tree planting initiatives. Her Community-Based Organization, an extended arm of House in the Wild called Women in the Wild, is a 35-member CBO working to restore degraded ecosystems along the Mara River while creating sustainable livelihoods for the community. From organizing beading initiatives to partnering with Kenyan Originals (KO) to bead the Mara Gin Lead, to donating libraries for school-going children to learn more about coexistence and wildlife conservation, Jane and her team are doing it all. Enjoy the podcast and be inspired to make change wherever you're planted🎙️💚
