You will leave this interview with big picture inspiration and tools you can implement into your life today.

This week we have a very powerful and important episode for you! I interview educator, activist and founder of The Real Talk Project Amreen Karmali.

Our purpose for this interview, was to have an intentional conversation on how men can work to end sexism and rape culture, and create a world of equity and inclusion.

As part of The Real Talk Project, Amreen facilitates a course specifically designed to empower male allies. Through her expertise, Amreen shares with us many tools and resources.

In addition, we dialogued about:

#MeToo
Intersectionality
Microagressions
Gender Justice
Sex Positivity and Consent
Self-Reflection
Healthy and Loving Relationships

This episode is a truly a resource for anyone who is passionate about creating a world free from discrimination. It is especially an important episode for men who are striving to be accountable and active allies in ending sexism.

This week’s episode is part 2 of this special series on Beliefs. I have been passionately working on this one over the past few months.

As a refresher:

The vision: To explore how our beliefs shape who we are by asking people, “What do you believe in?”

The process: I interviewed 8 different people in a one-on-one interview. I asked the same series of questions to each person in the same order. They did not know the questions or the theme of the interview before hand. Therefore, the answers they shared were completely impromptu and from the heart.

The result is beautiful, magical, insightful, and absolutely inspiring.

I know I say this every week, but honestly, you will love this episode.

In this last week of October, we see how nature and the energy around us starts to slow down. Let us too, take a cue from the natural world and pause to go within.
