This week on the Wonderspace podcast we ask our six questions to Esther Knight. Esther is the founder of an independent sustainable fashion house called Fanfare Label who are leading the way for circularity and positive change. They were recently featured in Elle Magazine as a British brand you should know about and are winners of various sustainable design awards.

“It’s often difficult being the first one doing these kind of projects but that’s how you create real change. We have managed to produce our own jeans that are ethically made in Portugal, save 92% of water compared to conventional denim, have no hazardous chemicals and have an eco washing process. These jeans are made from the waste that can’t be reused”.

This week on Wonderspace we ask our six questions to Caroline Casey. An award-winning social entrepreneur and activist who’s passion is to release the social and economic potential of the 1.3 billion people in the world with a disability. Her own story is extraordinary from finding out she was legally blind only at the age of 17 years old, to her decision at 28 to leave her job with Accenture and trek across India solo on an elephant to raise inclusivity awareness.
Today as the founder of Valuable500, Caroline is leading a disability inclusion revolution by positioning disability on the global business leadership agenda. Since launching in 2019 over 500 companies have put disability inclusion on the leadership agenda and made a commitment to action but as you will hear, they have only just got started.
Thanks to the brilliant Charlotte Armstrong for her role in making this interview happen.

This week on the Wonderspace Podcast we head to Brooklyn and ask our six questions to Caledonia Curry also known as Swoon. Callie is a contemporary artist and filmmaker who became widely known as the first woman to gain large-scale recognition in the male-dominated world of street art. Her work can be frequently seen in streets worldwide and has also been showcased in renowned art institutions.
Callie is also the founder of the Heliotrope Foundation which helps communities respond and heal after natural disasters and other urgent social crisis. They believe that the creative process can and should be part of how we heal, rebuild, and move forward.
“As an artist, I'm somebody who loves to look at a situation and go, ‘really, are you sure’? And then start digging into it and being like, how can this be more just or more fun or more ridiculous or more beautiful or more cooperative? I often find a way to use creativity to go into a situation like that and like turn the soil and see what's needed”.

This week on the Wonderspace Podcast we ask our six questions to Jacqueline Lim. A strategist and certified coach focused on advancing equity and a regenerative future for all. Jacq is currently an Associate with the Finance Innovation Lab and has recently worked with clients such as Natwest Bank, Partners for a New Economy and A Blueprint for Better Business.
"I found myself in 2019 really immersed in so many questions about self and about my work. Questions like, 'What really is a systems change?' 'How do systems actually change?' And crucially, ‘What's mine to do in systems change?' I've gathered so many answers since that time, one of the answers being systems change is actually deeply personal. It's not just about the outward change."
In her story of hopefulness Jacq promotes the work of Possible Futures who are starting their next cohort. Intro to Decolonial Sustainability course. One of the facilitators is one of our previous guests on WS Lorraine B Smith. The application deadline is 3rd June.

This week on the Wonderspace Podcast we ask our six questions to Vlad Glaveanu who is a Professor in the School of Psychology at Dublin City University. He is also the Founder and President of the Possibility Studies Network which brings together academics, researchers and practitioners dedicated to the study of human possibility. Topics include creativity, imagination, innovation and of course wonder which is the title of one of Vlad’s books.
“What motivates me is this fascination with the possible, with what is possible in our lives and the lives of others. WONDER was the missing link between creativity and the possible because for me it’s the experience that opens your mind to the world in such a different way.”

This week on the Wonderspace Podcast, we ask our six questions to Jacky Youldon, the Founder and Director of RunningSpace, whose mission is to champion life and combat suicide, one step at a time. Jacky struggled with suicidal thoughts following a lifetime of self-harm and eventually attempted to take her own life. From this experience, RunningSpace was born, and in 2019, Jacky was awarded the BBC Unsung Sporting Hero award for her life-saving running groups.
"A friend said to me, 'When you run, you're the pioneer of the prevention of suicide.' I thought that was ridiculous, and I cried and asked what I should do about that. 'Just start running,' she said, 'and people will follow you.’”
More info: www.runningspace.org
Jacky also promotes the National Suicide Prevention Alliance which has 1,800 members. https://nspa.org.uk
