This week on The Aro Podcast, Joey sits down with Liz Forkin Bohannon, the founder of Sseko Designs, a purpose-driven fashion brand creating employment opportunities for women globally. Liz shares the journey of how Sseko Designs emerged to address a significant problem, bringing positive impact to young women in Uganda. Transitioning from her entrepreneurial story, Liz and Joey dive into another passion of Liz's —loneliness. Liz provides insightful perspectives on how loneliness manifests in people's lives, emphasizing how modern American culture often glorifies independence, inadvertently contributing to the loneliness epidemic. The conversation explores the influence of smartphones on the rise of loneliness, disrupting real-life connections and fostering a fake sense of connection called parasocial connections. Liz leaves us with valuable insights and practical tips on designing a life where real-life connections triumph over the allure of our phones.
