Episode 167: Herstories 2023: What is your Craft?

Greetings Glocal Citizens!
This week on the podcast, rather than one last guest rounding out our March 2023 herstories series, I went into our archives with a specific goal of putting together a salon of sorts about craft. I think of craft as how vocation, location, persistence and passion fulfill us. According to Merriam-Webster, it is skill in planning, making, or executing.
I always ask this question because I feel it allows my guest to share more than what they do on a day-to-day basis for economic returns i.e. work, and gets closer to the heart of who they are and how they go about manifesting a new world. So, this week we’re re-visiting with:
Jamaican-American, Nydia Swaby (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/nydia-swaby) a Black feminist researcher, writer, and curator based in London about Archives, Art and Freedom Dreams;
Filipino-Jamaican-American, Zee Clarke (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/zee-clarke) an author, mindfulness practitioner and racial healing professional about Healing in Breathing;
Ghanaian-Afro-German, Ekua Yankah (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/ekua-yankah) a thought leader in international development on being a Polyglot, Professor, Policy Advisor and Art Patron;
Ghanaian-Brit, Esther Armah (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/esther-armah) an author, journalist and entrepreneur on storytelling for structural change;
Nigerian, Sarah Adeyinka (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/sarah-adeyinka) a humanitarian researcher and author on Humanitarian CoCreating; and
and Detroit Native, Dereca Blackmon (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/dereca-blackmon) an inclusion innovator, speaker and spiritual activist about Uncommon Conversations.
Be sure to check out full episodes using the links above, there’s a wealth of valuable, craft-inspired insights from each of these audacious women! Special Guests: Dereca Blackmon, Ekua Yankah, Esther Armah, Nydia Swaby, Sarah Adeyinka, and Zhalisa "Zee" Clarke.
