Hila the Earth, Eco Rapper Ecosystem Member

Today’s guest is a special one. For Earth Day, we couldn’t think of a better guest than Hila the Earth, an eco-rapper who embodies Mother Earth when she performs.
On this episode, we talk about why she dons Mother Earth for performances, her transition from Hila the Killa to Hila the Earth, the process of creating one of her songs, and creating a new vision for how we support community and care for each other.
One of the reoccurring themes in the episode is collaboration. From Hila’s dream to collaborate with Robin Wall Kimmerer to writing songs with scientists, Hila the Earth is an amazing example of how unique collaborations can bring mainstream attention to often complex issues facing the future of humans and the living beings we share Planet Earth with.
Make sure to check out Hila on Instagram and follow her on your favorite music streaming platform.
Finally, I want to give a shout out to the Patagonia Action Works platform. It is a platform created by Patagonia with Catchafire to help skilled people like you connect with environmental non-profits that could use your skills. So if you’re a designer, a lawyer, an accountant, a business strategist, a copywriter - literally almost any skill that you apply in your day job, you can use it to help a non-profit doing amazing work. I’ve completed more than 15 projects over the past few years and they are as rewarding for me as I hope they are for the non-profit. So if you do one thing in recognition with Earth Day, visit the Action Works website and search for a project using your skills.
In honor of Hila and my own appreciation of Robin Wall Kimmerer, I’ll share this quote from ‘Braiding Sweetgrass’ before we get to the episode:
“We can starve together or feast together. All flourishing is mutual.”
