The Power We Hold - Season 2 Episode 07: Heather McGhee

Thank you for joining me, your host eco-visual artist and spiritual coach Vanessa Albury, on my journey to becoming a better ally to people of all diversities (bipoc, LGBTQAI2S+, non-normative brained and embodied +) and steward of the environment in podcast form as The Power We Hold! This is part of Coral Projects' work in eco-consciousness healing. In this space we have in-depth conversation together with people of all backgrounds and diverse perspectives about difficult topics full of love, healing and what it is to be a human loving on planet Earth, our only home for now.
This episode is a re-airing of a really powerful conversation Trevor Bayack and I had with Heather McGhee back in 2021 about her research and book The Sum of Us. I like to revisit this conversation to mark my growth and to remember my desire to learn, grow and improve while having compassion for myself. I wish the same for you!
