Welcome to Communicating Care: a podcast of the Just Transition Collaborative at the University of Colorado Boulder where we talk about the ways environmental and climate justice advocacy are motivated by, express, and foster care. On this podcast, we listen more deeply to people who have made headlines for making a difference to learn from their insights for successful creative climate communication and behavior change.

I'm the host, Professor Phaedra Pezzullo. Today, we have two guests. The first to mention is James Wakibia, who was kind enough to be interviewed in July 2021, released last year as my first podcast. Welcome back, James.

The second, is his friend and colleague, Benard Ogembo, who works with James  at the nonprofit organization Streets of Nakuru. Like James, Benard earned his B.A. in Communication and Media at Edgerton University. Welcome, Benard.
