Oh India what a fabulous post. Never doubt you have both humour and authenticity to influence the minds of those who may not have the courage to do what you do. Thank you again for educating me to the ways we can all make a difference. Safe travels.

Unexpected and incredible journey , indeed. You are living, inspiring and guiding others. You have the stamina, the pedigree , hearth and have seen so much, you are a great representation of this climate world class reunion. Continue your work, we need more ladies like you in 2024! A Canadian fan

Always, always, the best anecdotes to brighten up your audiences! Who all want to be your best friend by the end of your talk. Having you speak is a brilliant idea, you have so many perspectives from your life experiences, and your family’s. Bravo and onward!

Very inspiring post...your work in Ukraine had positioned you for other leadership roles. Public speaking is not natural for most of us, (especially women)-but can absolutely be developed and even enjoyed with time. I think Michelle Obama and Jacinda Ardern have been two of the best (!) Good luck, you will be brilliant!

Curious how you think people can stop the “climate crisis“? Mass depopulation? Taking away the right of travel ? Forced birth control ?

Actually the keys are in our hands, we just need better drivers. Canada, Germany, and France are leading the way now.
