    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.

    "How do we decolonize wine?" Nathan Ratapu is the owner of Rerenga Wines, a wine & book shop in Paris, France. Nathan, who is of Maori origin from New Zealand, explores decolonial reflections and the intersection of wine, labour, agriculture, indigenous rights, and feminism. In this conversation, we dive deep into Nathan's background, his childhood in New Zealand, and his life dedication to exploring questions of race and decolonization.
