Next Stop #1 | Remembering Cecilia
Next Stop #1 | Remembering Cecilia 🌻
In this first episode of the Next Stop campaign, our Youth Ambassador for Inclusion & Sustainable Transport, Sana’a Khasawneh, takes over the Talking Transport Transformation Podcast.
She speaks with Jeffrey Jossepy Leandro Díaz, an activist from Lima, Peru, who turned personal tragedy into a movement for safer, more inclusive mobility. After the loss of his partner, Cecilia Melgar — a passionate environmentalist and transport justice advocate — Jeffrey founded Pacto por Ceci (“Pact for Cecilia”), a call to reimagine streets not for speed, but for life.
Together, Sana’a and Jeffrey reflect on Cecilia’s vision of mobility rooted in dignity, safety, and belonging, and how her legacy continues to inspire youth-led transport justice worldwide. 🌻
This heartfelt conversation marks the first stop on a journey through stories of courage, imagination, and the fight for inclusive, sustainable transport.
