This documentary is set to be screened at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
Driven by her passion for using media to promote climate literacy and sustainability, Legodi has made a significant impact on schools, organisations, educational foundations and environmental clubs throughout South Africa and the broader Global South.
She employs media to ignite challenging discussions and enhance understanding of climate literacy, environmental impact, and sustainability.

She is deeply committed to using her media expertise and rural background to amplify the voices of those least likely to be heard in the global Just Transition debate amidst the climate crisis.
