A Waorani Leader’s Fearless Mission to Protect Her People and the Earth

The Bright Side

Nemonte Nenquimo is the first female leader of the Amazon’s Waorani people, and her memoir, “We Will Be Jaguars,” is the November pick for Reese’s Book Club. It’s an incredible story of resistance, of climate activism, and of protecting the rights of indigenous peoples. She reflects on her culture's deep connection to the land, the spiritual significance of the jaguar, and her mission to ensure that indigenous stories and wisdom are preserved. Plus, journalist and entrepreneur Nicole Lapin drops some knowledge on the power of passive income.
