Meet Justine & Fiona. They're leading the charge not only at Rihanna's Foundation, Clara Lionel Foundation (named after her grandparents😭💚), but also educating the world that climate disasters do not impact all communities equally. Tune in and hear how the foundation is using local people to solve problems in the Caribbean leading to climate resiliency - all supporting Rihanna's dream that her "philanthropy will be as big as my music and my fashion."
