In this special in-person episode of Voices of Change, recorded at the Caribe Hilton in San Juan, Puerto Rico, host Tex Wambui sits down with global advocate Yasmina Benslimane to dive deep into one of the most urgent issues facing the island — the ongoing climate and energy crisis. Yasmina shares her insights on what it means to be a voice of change at a time when systems are failing and communities are rising. From Puerto Rico’s blackouts and energy instability to broader movements for environmental justice, this conversation reminds us that power is more than electricity — it’s about people, dignity, and resilience. In this episode, we explore: The realities behind Puerto Rico’s energy crisis and grid failures The emotional and economic toll of climate vulnerability How frontline communities lead resilience efforts The role of global advocacy in amplifying local struggles Why mobilizing voices matters now more than ever If you care about justice, climate resilience, and building real change, this episode is for you.
