FEMA’s Galeeb Kachra on Being a Steward of Life

Galeeb Kachra is a senior environmental protection specialist at
the US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) who has more
than two decades of experience working on a number of
environmental initiatives, including helping salmon and orcas
with climate change to helping communities in northern Pakistan
with natural disaster relief. He considers himself a steward in
life, looking after the people and living things on this planet.
In this episode, Galeeb talks about his identity–from growing up
in Kenya to immigrating to the US for an education. He also
shares stories about his time as juror in a wrongful death case,
how he lost his hearing in one ear, and the importance of diving
in to find your niche.
