   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.

   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.
