A manifesto and memoir about climate justice, this book by rising climate activist Vanessa Nakate emphasizes the urgent need to create an inclusive and livable future for all. Nakate shares her journey as a young Ugandan woman confronting the disproportionate impacts of the climate crisis on her community. She highlights the lack of recognition for activists from African nations and the global south compared to their counterparts from white nations. Inspired by Greta Thunberg, Nakate became Uganda’s first Fridays for Future protestor in 2019, awakening her political voice and personal power. Her presence in the climate movement has exposed significant inequalities, exemplified by an incident in January 2020 when her image was cropped out of a photo at the World Economic Forum, which featured only white activists. This moment underscored her advocacy for environmental and social justice for those marginalized in climate discussions. From her beginnings as a shy girl in Kampala to a prominent leader on the global stage, Nakate's narrative combines a rousing manifesto with a poignant memoir, offering a fresh vision for the climate movement rooted in resilience, sustainability, and genuine equity.
