S2E8 The Art of Gentle Protest with Sarah Corbett

I came across Sarah's work when her TedX talk early in 2018 and was blown away by her Craftivism movement and her message around gentle protest and why activism needs introverts. When she agreed to be a guest on the podcast, I was so excited to talk to her about the extraordinary work she does and the impact she is making on the world by finding her own way to change the world.

We also chat about:

:: Where Craftivism came from and why gentle protest can be more effective than more traditional forms of protest;

:: How gentle protest is difficult and takes the ego and anger out of activism;

:: Asking powerful questions whilst crafting to step back and look at how you can come up with the most effective approach;

:: The many facets of Craftivism - from critical thinking and quiet reflection, research, creating something to give to someone in a position of power or start conversation, plus putting your thoughts and energy into something you're making with your hands, and then sharing it in a way that is gentle.

:: Using vulnerability and open minded conversation to support people in positions of power to encourage them to make the right decision;

:: How Craftivism brings introverts AND extraverts together;

:: How to work out where to start when there are so many issues to support and finding the balance.
