“Does that mean I have no value as an African activist?" she asked, after a news organization published a photo of only white activists, including Greta Thunberg.Climate activist Vanessa Nakate said she felt like her voice and message was erased after she was cropped out of group photo published by the Associated Press that only featured the white activists who were standing beside her.
Nakate said her participation in the conference was a “privilege,” describing it as a “good experience,” but called the photo crop racist and “so disappointing.” “Does that mean I have no value as an African activist?” she asked in the video. “Or the people from Africa don’t have any value at all?”
