Dieynabou Diallo leads the Climate Justice strategy of our network and works with affiliates to drive community-based climate justice solutions. She takes a collaborative and relationship-centered approach to advance strategies and campaigns that build toward a just and equitable clean energy economy that sustains workers, communities, and the planet, and achieves racial, gender, and economic justice. Dieynabou is the daughter of Guinean immigrants who raised her with strong community values. Growing up in a strong immigrant community in the Bronx, she developed a sense of duty to community irrespective of borders and the fire to fight hard for a just and caring world. Prior to joining PowerSwitch Action, Dieynabou supported environmental justice communities in North Carolina who were overburdened by unregulated Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations by conducting scientific analyses and policy research. Dieynabou also has an international development background in energy access and international education with a specific focus in West Africa. In her work, she has built community coalitions in India, worked with teachers from over 30 countries, and worked frequently with communities across West Africa. She also worked in New York City public schools as an educator. At PowerSwitch Action, Dieynabou has led the strategy development of the Climate Justice program, advised on and authored climate justice reports, and worked with coalition partners to advocate for community-centered climate justice solutions. Dieynabou Diallo holds a Master’s degree in Environmental Management and Certificate in International Development Policy from Duke University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Geography and Sociology from Dartmouth College.
