Dear Truphena Muthoni,
The last time I hugged a tree…well, let’s just say it didn’t last 72 hours. But you did, and I applaud you for the courage, the strength, but most of all, the audacity; the audacity to silence the noise, to follow the drumbeat of your heart, the audacity to speak for the environment without even saying a word. I truly admire it.
I would have loved to come and witness your victory, but I am away representing our country at the EALA Games in Uganda.
I’d be happy to hear more about your cause, and if this is you at 22, I cannot wait to see what more you will bring to the world. God bless you, and God bless our environment.
Yours faithfully,
Audacious!
