Impact influencer for climate issues, Ushar Daniele, is an acclaimed, award-winning indigenous journalist with an impressive catalogue of published work. Her articles have appeared on international news networks, including Al Jazeera, CNN, and VICE News Tonight, covering major events like the disappearance of MH370 and the corruption trials of former Prime Minister Najib Razak. Recently, however, Ushar has shifted her focus towards environmental topics and now serves as a mentor at Climate Tracker Asia. Beyond her writing, Daniele is a panelist at sustainability forums and a strong advocate for the inclusion of indigenous voices in climate discussions.
To me, impact as a media representative means bringing important conversations to the forefront and driving meaningful change. It’s about amplifying the voices of those who often feel unheard, fostering grassroots change, and influencing decisions at the policymaking level.
