Oh...We're Going There

Reflecting on what 10+ hours of recordings have taught me , and, hopefully, you too.

In the final episode of season 1, Jamie Margolin, Founder of Zero Hour Movement, joins me to lay out how we save ourselves and preserve our planet. She started organizing Zero Hour in the summer of 2017 and since then, Nadia Nazar, Madelaine Tew, and Zanagee Artis have joined her in leading it.

Jamie's book, Youth To Power, comes out June 2, 2020, as a guide to young organizers.

In this episode, I’m chatting with Nina Sarhan, Coalition Director at PERIOD, an organization fighting to end period poverty and period stigma through service, education, and advocacy. 

PERIOD was founded by Nadya Okamoto and Vincent Forand in 2014. 

In this episode, we're diving into the process of creating equity in the wellness industry with Maryam Ajayi, CEO + Founder of Dive in Well, movement cultivating space, community, conversations and change for a more equitable and accessible wellness industry. 

Maryam is also the Founder of Indagba, a holistic business strategy agency helping socially conscious people and companies grow into their full potential.

In this episode, we're exploring what our 'unprecedented times' mean for storytelling in business with Tamon George, Co-Founder & CEO of Creative Theory Agency, an award-winning, culture-focused marketing agency amplifying voices, and telling necessary stories that overturn common narratives.

In this episode, Lawrence Wingate, U.S. Army Retired Staff Sergeant breaks down how military conflicts are solved, the dynamics between The Department of Defense and the State Department, and how the US military affects the lives of young people. Lawrence is Chairman of Wingate Media Group, creatively changing the way we think about business and life.

In this episode, my guest Shirley Raines, founder of Beauty 2 The Streetz, schools me on the mechanisms of creating change, which she does by providing makeovers on Skid Row with her ever-growing non-profit.

Shirley started Beauty 2 The Streetz as a means to heal after the passing of one of her children at a young age. She now considers herself a mother to the hundreds that she services on Skid Row every Saturday.

In this episode, I’m chatting with Saira Rao, an attorney, author, activist, and former candidate for Congress in Colorado's 1st district. Saira is also Co-Founder of Haven Media Organization, a radical digital platform by and for women of color, and Race 2 Dinner, which holds dinners with white, liberal women to help them confront their privilege and racism.

In this episode, I’m getting personal with Sofia Enriquez, an artist based in the Coachella Valley, whose works explore androgyny, her intercultural identity, and feminism. Her practice consists of murals, large scale paintings, and her fashion collection MUCHO, consisting of one of a kind painted garments.

In this episode, I’m chatting with Sana Javeri Kadri, founder of Diaspora Co., a direct trade spice company working towards a radically equitable, sustainable, and more delicious spice supply chain.

Sana, who was born and raised in Mumbai, decided to start her business after working at the intersection of food and culture there.  She discovered that farmers made no money, and spices changed hands upwards of 10 times before reaching the consumer–glaringly similar to the business model enacted during the western, colonial conquest of the Indian subcontinent.
