    Divestment from an Indigenous lens

    Guest: Vanessa Gray Much of what’s written critically about the fossil fuel industry focuses on the effects of climate change, but there are significant human rights and human health costs as well that don’t get as much coverage. And the effects of the industry on Indigenous communities receive even less attention. Vanessa Gray is the divestment campaign coordinator with Indigenous Climate Action. Growing up on the Aamjiwnaang First Nation near Sarnia, Ontario’s “Chemical Valley,” Gray witnessed first hand the serious effects unchecked industry can have on people’s well-being, so much so that she built an app which allows members of her community to track the nearby polluting companies and even trace health symptoms back to specific chemicals these companies were using or manufacturing. On this episode of ‘Responsible Investing for a Sustainable Economy,’Gray speaks with host Tim Nash about the push to divest from fossil fuels and the importance of reinvesting toward climate solutions. More information about “Chemical Valley” can be found here, and the Aamjiwnaang struggle here.

She is the founder and CEO of Bloom, a Toronto-based consulting firm that helps companies implement changes to improve productivity by making their workplaces more accommodating to all their staff.

    Who are the banker ladies?

    Guest: Andria Barrett Canada's institutional banking system has been traditionally difficult to navigate for new immigrants to the country, leading many to utilize an informal, women-led savings collective based on the principle of mutual aid. Known as a "partner" in Jamaican culture, a "susu" in the Ghanaian community or a "hagbad" in Somali, a rotating savings and credit association (ROSCA) fosters a sense of community in many immigrant groups and opens doors to funding frequently not available elsewhere. In this episode of “Responsible Investing for a Sustainable Economy,” host Tim Nash speaks with Andria Barrett, a consultant and speaker at The Diversity Agency, and former president of the Canadian Black Chamber of Commerce, about how ROSCAs work and why they're spreading beyond immigrant networks. More information at The ROSCA Federation.
