Business as Activism with Elijah Selby

We cannot change this world unless we understand exactly what it is we are trying to change. Dr. Morgana walks us through assumptions and beliefs that we are operating under that are causing harm. We delve into how toxic positivity, shame, and guilt are exploited in marketing copy to push people into buying things that don't actually serve them. We also talk about how conventions--for example, standards for consistency, way of setting goals, hustle culture-- emerge from the masculine, neurotypical way of being in the world and they are NOT the only way to do business. This conversation will open your eyes to so many things that are holding you back!

Women and menstruators that do not have access to products to help them bleed with dignity during the time of menstruation suffer. They lose time in school, and they lose time at work. Alyx Coble-Frakes, period activist and owner of The Agenda Period is committed to being part of the solution of this gender equality issue that costs the global economy $160 trillion a year. Her company is committed to all menstruators having supplies, education, and empowerment around their cycle. She helps us gain understanding of our cycle by breaking things down week by week--this education is foundational to being a mensturator however it is education that very few of us receive.

Kelly Diels has named those of us creating change in the world as Culture Makers. We literally change the culture by doing the work we do. If you're a listener of this podcast, you're someone who deeply gives a sh*t and is trying to make a difference--and yet, we know that we sometimes unknowingly cause harm. This conversation helps us unpack ways of being and thinking that we need to disrupt so that we can continue to be the powerful Culture Makers we desire to be in the world.

We went both deep and wide in this far-reaching conversation about intent vs. impact, manipulative marketing (including a mini case study on a recent IG post), being socialized with overt racism, what our culture constitutes as believable and trustworthy and sooooo much more! This is a lively conversation with the brilliant Angela Morris...I promise you're going to walk away smarter, more compassionate, and totally inspired!

How have patriarchal norms influenced and affected how we lead? Leadership Specialist, Sile Walsh, points out that often when people think of Patriarchy they automatically split genders when the reality is that it is harmful to everyone. In the workplace it can look like harm by a top down power hierarchy, the need from external validation that bypasses inherent or intuitive decision making, and an emphasis on profit and exponential growth rather than a sense of purpose and fulfillment. As a result, our definition of a successful leader is absolutely limited by the system. We really go deep into roadblocks for good leadership, the difference between diversity and inclusion through an anti-oppressive lens, how we bring our unknown biases to our efforts to build inclusion, and so so so much more. You're truly going to love this episode.

The term "Girl Boss" was intended as a term of empowerment, and certainly at its inception, many women felt emboldened by it. However as the movement grew, and became more mainstream, the feminist ethos of it seem to have faded away, leaving the focus on individual wealth and success. My guest, Jess Khouri, examines the phenomenon of the Girl Boss and discusses how we can create a feminist business that truly makes a real impact and creates social change.
