"Wangari Maathai planted trees, but she harvested democracy and that democracy is connected to justice" - Dianne Dillon Ridgely, 2013
Wangari Maathai has taught us to be leaders in social change and social justice. Her courage taught me I have the power to create a new reality, a new country, a new world. Her endless efforts planted the seeds of democracy in Kenya; and her work through the Green Belt Movement changed the course of many women doomed to poverty and misery to a future of security and self-sufficiency. She's a true inspirational leader who achieved her life work to continue even after her death. Winner of the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize showed us to take care of ourselves by taking care of environment.
