This week we're so excited that Rutendo is joined by natural history producer and director Faith Musembi.

You know when you admire someone — you love their work and their vibe — and think, “we’d totally be friends”? That’s exactly how Faith and Rutendo met, and thankfully the feeling was mutual!

Faith is a filmmaker passionate about telling stories that celebrate Africa’s natural world and her people, while exploring the complexities of sustainable conservation — you see's our kind of person?!

She’s worked on incredible projects like Nat Geo & Disney+'s QUEENS, Incredible Animal Journeys, and Chasing the Rains, and is now part of the BBC NHU team behind LION for National Geographic & Disney+.

We talk about her childhood in rural Kenya, her love for cats , and what it means to be the first African natural history producer — and why she’s determined not to be the last.

It’s a rich, heartfelt chat — and we hope you feel as inspired listening as Rutendo did speaking to her.
