With so much attention to social justice and climate change, companies are evolving their messaging from strategic branding with feel-good sprinkles of philanthropy and social responsibility, to leading their brand with purpose. This sounds great, but what does ‘purpose-driven’ even mean? How can companies not only drive responsible practices, but leverage their unique strengths as a business to create meaningful social impact for their communities? In this episode, we chat with Christine Lacayo and Suzie Gamboa, co-founders of Siembra Studios. Siembra Studios helps changemakers and social impact brands unearth their message and identity of change for a more sustainable and regenerative future. Christine and Suzie’s combined strengths of multilingual copywriting and narrative development, ethical brand identities, graphic design and responsible business practices enable them to help brands lead with purpose.

Watt We Can Do to Build Transparency in the Electricity Marketplace 47:59

So 100%, we all understand the importance of access to and emphasis on clean, renewable energy, but are we talking enough about energy poverty? Over 30% of people in the US struggle to pay their energy bills, with some dedicating up to 20% of their total income to this expense. Of the people surveyed reporting this burden, over half identified as Black and 40% identified as Latinx, making this a racial equity issue. While in some parts of the country, deregulated energy markets allow customers to shop around for the best rates, the process can be confusing and misleading. With this in mind, Naman and his co-founder Ben created WattBuy to help build transparency in the electricity market, and empower customers to make informed decisions to reduce their energy costs and opt into renewable energy. Between working on the Obama administration, one of the biggest tech companies in the world and running a start-up, Naman has a diverse perspective on just how serious the problem of energy burden is. Tune in to this episode to hear about Naman’s experience in these three sectors and how you too can tap into your strengths, skills and interests to drive positive change.

It’s 2019, yet our society wants mothers to work as if they don’t have kids AND for mothers to have kids as if they don’t work. Join us for Episode 7 with Energy Bees co-founder Sadie Bronk as we walk through her career and life journey from navigating an unexpected career path out of college, becoming a director by age 35, to starting a small, women-owned and LGBTQ-owned business soon after becoming a mother. Notes: Learn more about Sadie’s company Energy Bees: http://www.energybees.com/ While we didn’t cover it in this episode, we want to reiterate that reproductive rights and the right to family leave is not solely a women’s issue. Our current dialogue leaves out trans and gender non-binary + people out, but they have just as much of a right to these as cis-gender women: https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/trans-communities-are-being-left-out-of-abortion-debate/ Further reading on parental leave: How the US Ranks Globally: https://time.com/5590167/paid-family-leave-united-states/ Conversations Around Corporate Funded Leave: https://www.forbes.com/sites/marybethferrante/2019/01/10/in-the-fight-for-paid-parental-leave-6-months-should-be-the-minimum/#686dcc512073…

Join Phoebe and Lesley as they chat with Christopher T. Johnson on environmental policy, the Audubon Zoo, the simultaneous joy and devastation it is to be black and LGBTQIA+ in 2019, and more. Recorded on 1/31/2019. Clarifications from the episode: 1) Lucy McBath’s son, Jordan Davis, was murdered in Jacksonville, FL. The documentary discussed is titled 3 ½ min, 10 bullets. 2) The Gina Rodriguez interview discussed was for the motion picture Smallfoot, and her co-star is Yara Shahidi. 3) We understand that since this episode was recorded, some allegations regarding the validity of the incident involving Jussie Smollett have been brought forward. Regardless of the conclusion of this investigation, we must continue to foster a space that is safe for victims of assault to come forward, and this includes acknowledging that the majority of reported incidents are true, and that many remain unreported. Call to action: 1) Consider a donation to National Black Justice Coalition: http://nbjc.org/ and Center for Black Equity: https://centerforblackequity.org/ 2) Follow the activism of Native Son: https://twitter.com/nativesonnow?lang=en 3) Connect with your local SURJ Chapter: http://www.showingupforracialjustice.org/…
