In this first episode of the RYTHM Connect Podcast, we dive into the remarkable story of Amara Wichithong, a former Olympic windsurfer and passionate environmental activist. Against all odds, Amara never let her challenging upbringing deter her from pursuing her dreams and having a victorious professional career.
