Thank you for joining me, your host and eco-visual artist 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 my Coral Projects' work in eco-consciousness healing. My co-host, Caleb Williams, is also an artist. She is 21 years my junior and makes art about her experience as a Black woman in America. We have in-depth conversation together and with others about difficult topics full of love and healing.
Today Caleb and I chat with Heather Jiang of Allegorie, the food-waste-based leathers accessories company. I bought my cactus-waste leather wallet from Heather in 2020 and have loved every minute of having it. Heather is a powerful eco-advocate. She uses her creative mind and business savvy to solve the problem of sustainable, well-designed, and high quality leather made from waste! How cool is that?! Please check out Allegories, get your wallet or bag, or both! If you are in NYC Heather is at outdoor fairs all season with a regular spot at Grand Bazaar on Columbus at W77th Street. See for yourself why I'm so in love with her products!
What eco-problems do you have the skill set to solve and love what you're doing at the same time?
