    End of Year Wishes & Hopes

    May you have a restful and peaceful end of the year. May our interview with Waxiu Shehu (#1) make you think twice of what gives value to clothes or any new piece of object. May you repair or look for secondhand and give a new life and a new home to previously loved objects. May our conversation with Cosima Richardson of Kynd Hair (#2) make you think and question the products you have around you and you put on your body how that impacts our health. May Nathan Ratapu’s (#3) work and words inspire you to choose your wine, or anything you consume, bearing in mind the workers involved. May our interview with Sundra Essien (#4) let you consider the ripple effect our actions have, whether it is as a corporate lawyer in the USA, a pineapple farmer in Costa Rica, or a soap maker in Denmark.

    What Sundra Does - System Thinking & Intentional Representation

    On this podcast, we explore the many different shapes sustainability can take. We look at the big human challenges, namely discrimination, violence, the environmental crisis, the loneliness epidemic, the search for meaning, through an intersectional and interconnected lens. This week, I interviewed Sundra Essien, the owner of Isangs, a wonderful hair and body care shop, atelier, and playful space in Copenhagen. Sundra was born and raised in Texas with a Black American mother and a Nigerian father. Together we trace her story from her loving and experimental childhood, her career as a corporate and Human Rights lawyer, her work with permaculture farming in South America, and finally how all of this resulted in her opening Isangs. We talk about representation, freedom, system thinking, and making an impact. As always, please let me know what you thought of the episode by sending me a DM on Instagram @whatwedopod or through my website www.lucieoutthere.com.

    Bonus Episode // What Te Whetu Did - Justice & Stewardship

    We remember Te Whetu Evening Star Walker ( 1946 - 2013) Maori woman of the Te-Aitanga-a-Māhaki tribe and human right advocate. "Star Walker worked for years as a contractor between major horticultural and viticultural businesses in the region of Tairawhiti and her friends and family. She was rarely, if ever, protected; often she was obliged to pay people in cash directly from her home. She fought for her people, she brought her son home to join her in the fight, and she eventually created a system which within her small world, made a difference.  “He aha te mea nui o te ao, he tangata he tangata he tangata” - What is the most important thing in the world, it is the people, the people.” " - Nathan Ratapu, her grandson.
