Kwesia grew up in Deptford, South-East London. Having dealt with childhood trauma, violence, and homelessness, she received what she describes as “a life-changing blessing”: an opportunity to be part of a British Exploring Society’s expedition to the Amazon Rainforest where she had a profound communion with the beauty of nature. On her return she wanted to see if a connection of nature could similarly touch other young people. This led to the start of City Girl In Nature, a popular online video series in which Kwesia shares her passion for the outdoors. Kwesia is now the host of Series 3 of the podcast ‘Get Birding’, following in the footsteps of Dr. Mya-Rose Craig and Strictly Come Dancing’s Hamza Yassin.
