Be Good Do Good media: The Podcast

This month we’re joined by Aja Nikiya, an animal rescuer, disaster responder, and humanitarian whose work shows up wherever people and animals need care most. She's the founder of Compassion Kind and Chifundo Clinic. Aja left her corporate career after feeling called to help the animals and people who need it most. We talk about how it all started, what disaster response really looks like on the ground, and her passion for animal rights that keeps her going.

Welcome to the very first episode of Be Good Do Good media: The Podcast where we talk to good humans doing GOOD things. 

In this conversation, we sit down with Shawnette Heard to explore the impactful work she’s leading through her nonprofit, Captiv8 Docu, supporting LGBTQIA+ youth and amplifying underrepresented voices.

Shawnette shares her journey during “The Janet Era”—the bonds and relationships she formed while stepping into her identity. Lastly, we get real and talk about what it's like to start an organization centered around queerness.
