?? Wangari Maathai was a Kenyan environmentalist and women's rights advocate who founded the Green Belt Movement, focusing on tree planting, environmental conservation, and women's empowerment. In 2004, she became the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for her contribution to sustainable development, democracy, and peace. Maathai's work not only addressed environmental issues but also challenged the marginalization of women in Kenyan society. https://lnkd.in/dUtWc8K #WomensHistoryMonth #WangariMaathai #EnvironmentalJustice #WomenEmpowerment #Tewahedo #ADAMHFranklinCounty2025 #ETSS
