Beyond Representation: Recap of 2022 Raíces Verdes

Hello all, its been a while since our last episode! A lot has been happening since Raíces Verdes last episode was release Dec, 2021. During the first half of the episode I recap different collaborations and work over the past 10 months that have helped expand Raíces Verdes storytelling from podcasting to other mediums. Towards the second half of the episode I dive more into the topics of representation, and how Raíces Verdes' focus is shifting away from meeting a "diversity quota" in the environmental & sustainability field, and instead working towards storytelling and community building that is rooted in self-determination, healing and reconnecting to our green roots. Lastly, I talk about how my understanding of my own identity as a reconnecting Indigenous women, or P'urhepecha women has shaped the new direction Raíces Verdes is heading towards and what this means for the kind of content we want to develop in 2023.
