Founded in 2019, T-Shirt for a Cause ( I AM A SCIENTIST) began as a vision by Mequela Moreno, an environmental scientist with over a decade of experience in promoting sustainable development and protecting natural resources. Mequela has led key initiatives focused on environmental preservation and ocean technology analysis.
