Fighting Racism: Racial Justice at Work and in the Environment with Abigail Oduol

Abigail Oduol is an Individual Gifts Officer at an environmental nonprofit. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of California Irvine in Political Science followed by a Master’s in Transformational Urban Leadership. Her experiences have spanned the globe from attending a humanitarian mission in Ecuador, to studying at St. Paul’s University in Kenya, and fundraising with Akiba Mashinani Trust on land rights and advocacy for clean water and sanitation facilities for urban slums. She also worked with Church World Service, an international full-service humanitarian development agency, first as a curriculum development intern, then as a refugee resettlement caseworker, and finally as a Field Team Leader across Kenya, Ethiopia, and Chad. Join us as we talk about identifying calling in our lives, the roles we play in other people's calling, and how calling can change over time. We explore themes of vocation, affinities, and circumstantial adaption.
