City Girl in Nature (Founder)
Kwesia, from Deptford, is the founder of City Girl in Nature.
Once homeless and struggling with her mental health, Kwesia was presented with an opportunity of a lifetime to join a three week expedition with the British Exploring Society to a Peruvian Amazon Rainforest. There, she experienced the beauty of nature, where there was no judgement, just life teaming with energy and opportunity and bonds of friendship and loyalty with strangers who had to discover ways to live and work together in order to be successful.
Upon her return, City Girl in Nature was born from Kwesia’s desire to give back to her community and share her love and passion for the outdoors, and belief that everybody should have the chance to be healed, to be nourished, and to live abundantly.
"I want to give back by promoting my passion and love for nature to engage young, vulnerable people in inner cities.”
