My name is Laura Chebet Birir. I am a Journalist, Health & Science Reporter, and Mental Health Advocate. As a multimedia journalist, I have had the opportunity to work for top media houses like Royal Media Services and the Standard Media Group in Kenya. Other than mainstream media, I am a passionate writer on varied subjects. I run a blog that helps me address pertinent issues that represent my ideologies and those of notable guest writers.
 With the current threat of climate change to our ecosystem, I am seriously concerned about my country and our planet at large. I would like to use my voice as a reporter and be part of the solutions toward curbing and eradicating the effects of climate change. In this regard, I am grateful that I have been given a chance by EQDA to do this. I am also a wife and mother of two beautiful daughters.
