Meet The Speakers!

Rosina Al-Shaater, Environmental Community Engagement Officer, Black and Green Ambassadors

Rosina is exploring the relationships that black and brown people in Bristol have with nature, using a multimedia storytelling approach to document, celebrate and share the ways people incorporate nature into their life and how this contributes to their health and wellbeing. Rosina is capturing stories, wisdom, skills and experiences centred around nature from all generations and cultures. She has particularly been working with the Windrush Generation. With this project she aims to decolonise nature and the wider environmental movement by increasing representation and helping black and brown people recognise the ‘expert’ in themselves and each other. Through this, she hopes to also increase access to knowledge around working nature and provide a route for more black and brown people to engage in the wider environmental movement.
