African woman, Environmental and political activist, Wangari Maathai unfortunately lost her battle to cancer last week on the 25th of September. Wangari Maathai was the first African woman to win a Nobel peace prize for her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace. The reason why I love her is not only because of her great work, but also because of her positive presence she carried at all times. Africa has gained great achievements through her, but lost a great woman.
