My guest today is Kenza Barrada.

Kenza is the founder of the “We Are One World” or WAOW Project, which is designed to support leaders to realize that each one of us impacts all others, and that change starts with us.

Kenza is a senior advisor for leadership development and team alignment, a Mindfulness and MBTI practitioner, and she collaborates with distinctive practitioners and specialists of other transformative tools and methods. 

Kenza has worked and lived in 15 countries. She’s fluent in 4 languages.  And she spent 12 years in management consulting for McKinsey & Company.  She has a deep knowledge of public sector work and agriculture development in emerging countries.

Kenza is a returning guest, having first been on the podcast back in April on episode 113.  There, she shared her journey to mindfulness.  I highly recommend listening to that part of Kenza’s story if you haven’t yet.  Kenza is an amazing storyteller, and her storytelling continues today as she shares more about her family’s home and farm near Marrakesh, Morocco.  Their home is much more than a home, as you’ll hear.  It’s a permaculture and agroecology project, an opportunity for work-away visitors, a place for community, music, presence, and intentional living.

One word of caution, you will definitely want to visit after listening to this episode!

Kenza, thank you again for your gracious presence and sharing.  I love being invited into the descriptions of your home, your life, your community.  Your vision for life, your invitation for others to join you (be it for a few days, weeks, or longer), and your clear passion for this work is inspiring and motivational.

I’m honored to host this continuation of your story and look forward to continuing our conversation (hopefully one day in person!).
