Kwesia is the founder of City Girl in Nature, a movement she created as a way to give back to her community. Having grown up in Deptford in SE London, she experienced many of the challenges that come with living in an area, and with people, who have often been neglected, excluded and marginalized. An opportunity to be part of a British Exploring Society’s expedition to the Peruvian Amazon Rain-forest in her words, transformed her life. On her return she started to think about connecting with other people with similar backgrounds and experiences and wanted to explore whether a connection with nature could help them in the same way. Kwesia's aim is to share her love and passion for the outdoors and she is fuelled by the belief that everybody should have the chance to be healed, to be nourished and to live life with abundance.
In this episode Kwesia shares the inspiration behind City Girl in Nature and the personal benefits connecting with nature has bought her. She also shares that challenges she has experienced on this path, focusing on the importance of identity and a sense of belonging in outdoor spaces.
