They are owned by the local Mbororo community in the village of Gouwa, about a hundred miles north of the capital of NíDjamena, Chad. The Mbororo are nomadic pastoralists and travel during the wet season, following the rains from the south to the north. Groups of several dozen relatives, including children and elders, travel on foot, donkey or camel, and stay at each grazing spot only for a couple of days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was in Chad on behalf of @rippleeffectimages capturing the work of @hindououmar, a member of the Mbororo community, who is working to harness the centuries of wisdom and weather-predicting techniques held by the community, to adapt to the impact of climate change. @hindououmar recently received the 2019 Pritzker Environmental Genius Award by @uclaioes, a prize I'm proud to have nominated her for. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @conservationorg @photography.for.good @natgeo @natgeoimagecollection @thephotosociety @nikonusa #PritzkerEnvironmentalGeniusAward #inspiring #inspiration #humanitarian #wisdom #climatechange #mitigation #pritzkergeniusaward #globalwarming #adaption #mbororo #indigenous #indigneouspeople #nikonnofilter #nikonlove #globalwarming #climateemergency #climateadvocacy #climateadaption #therippleeffect #rippleeffectimages #rippleeffect (at Chad) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7RMbBUBlwM/?igshid=wzl5zcck8hw3

A week later Kara is nervously bouncing on the balls of her feet as she waits for Lena to get dressed. Looking up at the familiar click of Lena's heels and finds her at the top of the stairs as she slips her earrings in. Kara's momentarily floored by how beautiful Lena is as she descends the stairs in a casual blouse and jeans, her hair perfectly framing her face.

"Do I look ok?" Lena asks looking down at herself checking nothing is out of place and Kara mentally kicks herself for staring.

"Yeah, you look amazing, great in fact," Kara stumbles. Lena nods with a small smile as she lifts her purse and phone before eyeing the keys in Kara's hand.

"I'll drive," Lena states, holding her left hand out with her right hand on her hip.

"I can drive," Kara protests, indignantly fidgeting with her glasses.

"Alex told me about the time you almost crashed because of a ferret," Lena states, raising her sculpted eyebrow in a challenge.

"Ok, first of all, it was a possum that came out of nowhere and secondly I passed the driver's test like any capable human," Kara protests. Lena looks incredulously at Kara, who groans as she deposits the keys in the CEO's hand.

Writing a fic for an american show is slowly becoming the greatest pain in my life. What does slacks even mean?

There is no television here, no electricity and probably because of this, the art of storytelling, dance and culture is an important celebration of life for the Mbororo people.
