On this episode, we are joined by Johanna Koolemans-Beynen, Senior Program manager at USEA, the United States Energy Association. Johanna is also a Senior Program Coordinator for the USAID-funded Energy Utility Partnership Program.
Johanna joined us on our trip and facilitated the meaningful connections we created with our kin in Colombia. In a conversation with Mihskakwan, Freddie, and Daphne, Johanna shares her thoughts on sustainable development, the decolonial perspectives that have influenced her work, and the importance of peer-to-peer knowledge exchange.
In the middle of this episode, we hear a short excerpt of a poem one of the multi-talented SENA students, Samuel Prieto, performed for us. Thanks Samuel!
