You may think this won’t affect you if you don’t live in the motherland. Everything is connected. We are all dependent on each other’s climate changes.
Alarm bells are ringing in the Horn of Africa. Farms are no longer yielding, pests are spreading, and tropical diseases are emerging. Climate change is real, and it’s destroying lives. #ClimateCrisis #GlobalAction

This was such a challenging, yet fun side mission that helped me think about my conceptual framework for my dissertation and gave me space to express my scholarly ideas and contributions in creative ways. I've also been introduced to new music and a growing vinyl collection. 5/
