United States2 years ago - Needed & Nourishing Perspective
How do we embody empowerment through fashioning our reality (without oppressing the earth & other people) ? The answer is different for everyone .
Teju is my favorite scholar because she shares informative herstories in a way that helps to break problems down to equip ourselves with the tools & inspiration to build an intersectional industry for all - in whatever way we see fit ;) for ourselves. Grazie Mille, Teju!!!! Bravo, bravo, encore!!!
Apple Podcasts5Baily RoseUnited States3 years ago - Insightful and can’t wait for more!
This episode alone addressed issues of displacement, colonialism, Black consciousness, textile geographies, agriculture, fast and slow fashion, space and power. . . And literally so much more.
So insightful and addresses many gaps within the field of geography. As someone who just finished their geography degree with a focus on mutual aid and radical care geographies this podcast was exciting for accesible geographical thinking! Can’t wait to hear more!

I loved this - short and packed with interesting information. The conversation with Baba is such a great start and I loved the wind down meditation bit. Teju’s voice is soothing and measured.
