  • Enna is one of the most clear-thinking and thoughtful professionals in the sustainability / development fields I have connected with in recent months. She manages to balance strategic thinking, generous challenge, with gentle pragmatism. I highly recommend getting to know her and I am loving all that she is bringing to the world.

    Cathy Presland - Executive Coach and Leadership Consultant

  • Having stumbled across Enna's fantastic research piece on textile waste in the Kantamanto Market (Ghana), I immediately knew she would be the perfect fit as a guest speaker and mentor on our Sustainable London Programme. Enna has the natural ability to bring the issue of fashion waste to life in a manner that is engaging and eye-opening for her audience. As a guest speaker, Enna cultivates a safe space for Gen Z to critically analyse the problem and consider their own consumption whilst challenging them to think beyond the binaries of the national curriculum. As a mentor, she supports students in designing a tech-based solution to the issue which is always unique and draws from the strengths of the group. The Motivez team are incredibly blessed to have Enna onboard and looks forward to carving out new ways to expand the conversation and action on global issues.
