I don't just owe it to my mother
<p>Pascalinah Kabi, a pioneering investigative journalist from Lesotho, is the first female journalist to publish an investigative book, <em>Pollution, Profits, and the People</em>. Pascalinah’s work is fueled by a passion for social justice, science, gender, and politics. Through her reporting, she sheds light on the struggles of marginalized communities.</p> <p><em>“I think the minute we miss that point of what is the impact of the story that I’m doing or the wrongdoing that I’m trying to expose, on an ordinary person on the streets, on an ordinary person in a rural community, I think that’s when people lose interest in our investigative journalism. Every time when I embark on an investigative piece, I ask myself, if I was a person on the streets, if I was my grandmother, if I was my mother, if I was a sister or a girl in the rural places. How would this affect me?”</em></p>
