Director of Academic Adventures, Planet Forward
Dr. Imani M. Cheers is an award-winning digital storyteller with a passion for moving the planet forward. Dr. Cheers is originally from Chicago but grew up in post-apartheid South Africa. That's where her love for the environment started, growing vegetables in her home garden. Having traveled to over 40 countries on six continents, Dr. Cheers is passionate about taking students out of their comfort zone and pushing the boundaries of visual communications. When she's not filling up her passport with her son Isaiah, you can find her preparing the next generation of storytellers for careers that don't exist yet.
