Details about the speaker: Ruth Chigbo
Vita: I am an energetic advocate for innovation and sustainability in the energy industry with a background in Geosciences. As a divinity influencer, I guide individuals in discovering their purpose, growing, and living authentically. My strong skills in data analysis, administrative support, participant engagement, and program planning enable me to streamline processes, enhance operational efficiency, and drive organizational growth. My expertise in leveraging technology for effective communication and task management ensures that teams are well-coordinated and goals are met efficiently.

Currently pursuing dual Master’s degrees in Marine Geosciences and Ship/Offshore Units Repair Technology, I have founded CLN-Climalearnation to pioneer climate education through gamified learning. Additionally, I co-founded ThriveBold, promoting education and empowerment among African youth, and created programs for youth leadership and global connectivity. In 2023, I spearheaded a breast cancer awareness campaign in Germany, part of a broader initiative to reach 100,000 Black women by 2030. As a cancer survivor, I am committed to teaching women to perform self-examinations through workshops and demonstrations.

My achievements include recognition from the European Geoscience Association (EAGE), FameLab Science Pitch, a TEDx talk, the Best Bachelor Thesis award from FUPRE, and accolades from the Nigeria Geophysical Society (NGS). I am a BeVisioneers Fellow, Climate Ambassador, and have held roles such as Financial Secretary for NAPE, AAPG, and EAGE, in addition to contributing to WHO/Polio Immunization efforts. I am a Social Impactor advocating for gender equality, Women’s Health and Authenticity, a Geoscience mentor, and an author of 5 unpublished books.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I am deeply committed to social causes. I lead impactful awareness campaigns and workshops aimed at empowering Black women through health education and self-examination techniques. My leadership extends to various professional associations, where I advocate for gender parity and community empowerment.

Driven by a belief in God, Earth, Humanity and a global perspective, I am committed to making a positive impact. I engage in diverse interests, public speaking, and environmental advocacy, notably through the “BraveUp-BreastuP” campaign. I aspire to advance towards a low- Breast cancer future and foster inclusive societies, particularly across Africa and Europe.
