As a black woman on a national science show, I intentionally wear braids and my curly Afro to normalize black hair in stem. In this pic, I’m wearing cornrows to study plants being sent to space at NASA.

Indigenous communities are essential guardians of some of the planet’s indispensable biological diversity. We must work side-by-side with them & others at #COP15 & around the world - for a shared vision of living in harmony with nature.

I will convene a Climate Ambition Summit in September 2023. I call on every leader to step up – from governments, business, cities and regions, civil society and finance. We need new, tangible and credible #ClimateAction to accelerate the pace of change.
