About Celine Cousteau:
Celine Cousteau is an environmental activist, documentary filmmaker, author and international speaker. She is committed to sharing the message of interconnectivity between humans and the natural world. Cousteau, through her degree in Psychology and Masters in Intercultural Relations, weaves storytelling and experiences to help people connect to self, community, and nature.
Cousteau is the founder of CauseCentric Productions, which allows her to make impactful, cause focused content. Her feature film, Tribes on the Edge, was made at the request of the Indigenous Peoples of the Vale do Javari in the Brazilian Amazon. As a direct result of the film, Cousteau co-founded The Javari Project, a for purpose organization that implements tangible actions for the Indigenous People of the Javari.
Cousteau’s career has brought her across the globe to the United Nations and the World Economics Forum, to universities and corporations, and to retreats, workshops, and television programs. Her speech, "The Women of my Family- Three generations breaking barriers," speaks on the women-centered stories often not told. In the speech, she discusses her life experiences alongside her mother and grandmother.
