Our short series
Throughout the first five seasons of our show, we have curated short series on specific topics from Tech For Good and Inclusion to Exploring Sustainable Food Systems.
We featured leading female tech founders in education, healthcare, and gender equality ; as well as inclusion advocates creating awareness for inclusive workplaces, and spearheading much needed work that empowers children and people with special abilities.
In early 2023, we showcased frontrunners in the sustainable food movement who are fighting food waste, reviving ancient grains, championing regenerative agriculture, and building networks or community around sustainable food production.
