The Western Sydney rapper and artist leads the charge on a firecracker of a tune that the Unearthed team can't stop talking about.
In today's episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Chitra Nagarajan – a writer, researcher, and activist whose work spans human rights, conflict, migration, and climate justice.Chitra has spent many years working across West Africa, particularly in the Lake Chad Basin region, and brings a deep commitment to centering the voices of those often left unheard. Her writing has appeared in The Guardian, Al Jazeera, openDemocracy, and more, and she is widely respected for her ability to weave together the personal, political, and historical with clarity and compassion.In this episode, we discuss her extraordinary new book, The World Was In Our Hands – Voices from the Boko Haram Conflict, which is a powerful and essential oral history project. Through a chorus of voices – of survivors, fighters, community members, and aid workers – the book paints a deeply human and nuanced portrait of one of the most devastating conflicts of our time. It asks urgent questions about justice, memory, and healing, and it reminds us of the importance of listening deeply to the people most affected by violence.I'm so honoured to share this conversation with you – it's moving, insightful, and necessary.Support the show

Quietmind Astrology — Learn Vedic Astrology with Jeremy Devens
If want to grow your heart-centered online business in sync with your unique gifts and vedic astrology, enrollment is now open for Thrive Online 2025 at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/thriveIt's officially the end of the eclipse portal. On Saturday, April 12th, we have a powerful Full Moon in Chitra Nakshatra, in the sign of Virgo — marking the celebration, the culmination, and the completion of everything you've been moving through over the past six weeks. The following day, Sunday, April 13th, is massive: Venus goes direct after her long retrograde journey that began March 2nd, and the Sun moves into Aries, beginning a fresh new solar cycle.This is a big week. And then, blessedly, we get a reprieve — a chance to rest, integrate, and begin anew. In this episode, I unpack how to work with the closing of the eclipse portal and Venus retrograde, while stepping into the bold, action-oriented Aries energy that defines the second half of April.Chitra Nakshatra's ruler is Vishvakarma — the celestial architect of the universe — and this Full Moon is about recognizing what you have built. Your ideas. Your creations. Your healing. This is Mars energy in its constructive, creative form. This isn't the time for conflict or confrontation — especially not on the 12th — but it is the time to perform, to lead, to build, to take care of your body, your home, your self-expression.Venus moves direct this week so I break down the 3-phase journey of Venus retrograde taht began in January:Phase 1 (Jan 27–Mar 2) – Surrender: Heightened romance, longing, idealism, but with potential illusions.Phase 2 (Mar 2–Apr 13) – See Clearly: Truth-telling, pattern recognition, karmic reckonings.Phase 3 (Apr 13–May 31) – Step Forward: Integration, recalibration, moving toward soul-aligned love and purpose.I share personal reflections of how this has shown up in my own life and invite you to explore what has been stirred in yours. You might still feel unclear, foggy, emotional — that's okay. It doesn't all need to make sense. This is a deeply spiritual time. Allow what's been hidden to come to the light.Then, as the Sun enters Aries — exalted, empowered — we step into initiation energy. This is your inner CEO, your builder, your independent, courageous self. Want to start a business? Launch a new project? Change your routine? From now through October is a golden time for aligned action.You don't have to overthink it. Just start. Start simple. Let your alignment guide your action, and your actions lead to achievement.5 Key Quotes from the Episode“This Full Moon in Chitra is the culmination of your becoming — a celebration of your creative power.”“Venus retrograde isn't about regret. It's about reflection, realignment, and realizing what truly matters.”“You've gone through a six-week portal — you're not the same person who started this journey.”“Sun in Aries is your green light — start now, keep it simple, and take action from alignment.”“Let go of what needs to go, so life can rush in to fill that space with something beautiful.”Free Workshop: Thrive Online 2025: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/thriveworkshopThrive Onilne 2025 https://www.quietmindastrology.com/thriveFree Weekly Horoscopes & Exclusive offers: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freehoroscopesFree Vedic Birth Chart & Training: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram:http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyYouTube:http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtubeMentorship Waitlist:http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorship

In this cosmic episode of the Money Lighthouse Podcast for Spiritual Entrepreneurs, Michel Ai Reavis shares her radiant full moon wisdom through the lens of Vedic astrology. This month's full moon in the sparkling nakshatra of Chitra in Virgo invites spiritual entrepreneurs to connect with their inner artist, mystic, and divine architect. Opposite the dreamy constellation of Pisces, this lunar moment is infused with creativity, spiritual insight, and the soft yet energizing power of feminine Mars energy. Michel gently walks us through the qualities of Chitra—the star of opportunity—and how its jewel-like essence can inspire beauty, artistry, and regeneration in both our inner worlds and our businesses.With an extraordinary Pisces planetary cluster including Venus, Saturn, Mercury, Rahu, and the Sun, Michel offers grounded insights into how we can navigate the murky waters of illusion and dreaminess while staying aligned to spiritual depth and soul truth. She reminds listeners to keep their business visions rooted in purpose, ensuring that their messaging and actions are not only inspired and mystical but also meaningful and clear. She brings Jupiter and Mars into the conversation too—offering us an oasis of calm and creativity, suggesting we nourish ourselves through joyful learning, home-based peace, and deeper spiritual practices to stay balanced amidst the cosmic intensity.To wrap up the episode, Michel draws a beautiful oracle card from Whispers of Aloha: Forgotten Treasure – Restore Your Power and Vulnerability. This soothing and spirit-filled message encourages listeners to reclaim their inner strength, quiet negative self-talk, and prioritize self-care as a way to sustain their energy and confidence. With her signature warmth, Michel reflects on how the themes of Chitra—beauty, creativity, and divine design—are woven into the guidance of spirit. It's an empowering, gentle reminder that connecting to our magic and restoring our light begins within.

Drawing Coastlines: Climate Anxieties and the Visual Reinvention of Mumbai's Shore (Cornell UP, 2024) reveals the ways that technical images such as weather infographics, sea-level projections, and surveys are fast remaking Mumbai's coasts and coastal futures. They set in place infrastructural interventions, vocabularies of development and conservation, and their lines and dots inscribe material conditions of existence and horizons of loss that entangle life forms. V. Chitra interlaces graphics and text by redrawing scientific images, the moments of their construction, the choices and consequences of what gets drawn and what does not, and how images are seen, performed, and manifest. These visual reconstructions show how images remake human-nonhuman relationships, arrange urban politics, and materialize landscapes in complex and contradictory ways. The multimodal format of Drawing Coastlines engages in the politics of its context where words and images combine to create coastal worlds, and to find, through a creative anthropology, openings to build new forms of care in the midst of crisis.

In this month's full moon episode, we dive deep into the potent energy of the upcoming lunar season on October 17th, which takes place in the powerful nakshatra of Ashwini in Aries. Known for its healing and adventurous spirit, Ashwini is considered the first lunar mansion in the Vedic zodiac. The Ashwini twins, who are said to bring divine healing through their golden chariot, symbolize this nakshatra's strong connection to life force energy and new beginnings. With the moon in Ashwini and the sun in Chitra, this full moon holds the perfect balance of healing, adventure, and leadership.

Chitra Ragavan, C-suite tech executive, strategic advisor, executive coach and award-winning journalist, authored "Why Kamala Harris needs a 'competent' white man to win" for The Hill recently, and the headline drew me in. Naturally, I asked if she'd join me shortly before Kamala Harris chose a (more than) 'competent white man' in Tim Walz to be the VP nominee for the Democratic Party, which I'll get to late in the show (though I essentially endorsed him eight days ago), but first ... I wanted Chitra to explain to me what the "warmth-competence matrix" is and if Kamala Harris is walking a tightrope (or is it a Venn diagram?) between the two well enough. Nancy Pelosi appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to react to the news that Tim Walz had been tabbed, by the way, and rebuffed notions that Walz is "too progressive."

Tune into this 4th episode of a 10 Part series, "Designer's Digest” with @chitrav89 (Chitra Vishwanath) - Principal Architect and Managing Director of BIOME Environment Solutions (@biomearchitecture) This series is created by Audiogyan in partnership with @godrejdesignlab Designer's Digest series is about Design as a profession, it's daily grind, the secrets to climbing the design career ladder, and what edge we'll need to thrive in the captivating world of design. Chitra Vishwanath is an Indian architect based in Bengaluru who works on themes related to ecology and architecture. She has been running her own architectural firm since 1991, working with other architects on many projects of all sizes. She is currently the Principal Architect and Managing Director of BIOME Environment Solutions. She firmly believes that the true essence of a remarkable firm lies in the gradual fading of its founder's individual prominence. The establishment of a firm is influenced not only by the founder's drive but also by various contextual factors. Chitra cannot be solely identified as Chitra Vishwanath without acknowledging the integral role of Biome. Similarly, Biome's existence in its current capacity is inseparable from the contributions of her colleagues. BIOME has been involved in more than 700 projects encompassing the construction of buildings of all sizes and water harvesting and sanitation structures with specific relevance to the ecology of the sites. With earth as a basic material input in construction, BIOME has designed and built many structures. We'll be talking about ecological architecture in today's episode. Questions We often use “architect” as a word who guides, designs, and oversees. Etymologically as well, it's derived from arkhi-, chief + tekton, builder - chief builder. Who according to you is an architect? What constitutes an ecological architecture? Could you talk about the 4 aspects of architecture from your TEDx talk, resourceful spaces, designing construction systems, water and waste management? Maybe by taking an example of one of the many schools you have built. What is Maximise to minimize? Good design is no design at all, right? How do you strive to create a positive impact while building structures? What are the key principles and values you live by? What should be / can be the index/metric of good ecological architecture? Why? What according to you is the biggest role of architects in India, given the current time? Over the last 31 years, you have grown to 31 member strong team. Seems a conscious choice to stay lean. Why? You have a lot of Junior architects on the team. What are their primary job responsibilities? For Biome, every project is a test bed for developing a collaborative multidisciplinary approach grounded in informed decisions. How does Biome onboard, execute, and deliver any project? Where and how are Junior architects involved? What do you expect from them? What according to you is a good measure of an ecologically sensitive outlook in a student or junior architect entering this field of architecture? What kind of architects do we need for India's future? What tips/suggestions would you like to give young architects?

Fancy Scientist: A Material Girl Living in a Sustainable World
When it comes to careers in wildlife, one of the things you'll hear me say over and over again is that you need to go after what you want - you can't just sit back and wait for things to happen. YOU have to make them happen. But what happens if you don't know how to go after what you want? You aren't sure exactly what to do? That was the case for Chitra Rekha Basyal, one of my students in the Successful Wildlife Professional program. In this episode of the Fancy Scientist podcast, I want to share with you how Chitra overcame barriers to career goals by going after what she wanted - even when she didn't know how - and finding mentorship. Chitra found her calling in wanting to protect threatened and endangered turtles in her home country of Nepal. But as a forestry student hungry for research opportunities, she hit barrier after barrier that threatened her dream career like lack of funding, lack of connections in the field, and uncertainty about career pathways. After attending a virtual conference on turtle conservation needs in Nepal, she boldly reached out to the organizers to find a way to get involved. This led to opportunities to design her own baseline research project studying threatened Nepalese turtle species. Chitra successfully secured grant funding and collaborated with regional experts, gaining invaluable hands-on research experience. Although Chitra developed some great research experience, she hit a wall and knew she had to get a Master's and wanted one in the US, but had no idea how to go about this. She found me on LinkedIn and reached out. I was so impressed by Chitra's dedication and passion to turtle conservation and knew that I could help her dream of getting a Master's degree come true. I thought she would be a perfect fit for my Successful Wildlife Professional Program and encouraged her to apply. Chitra came into the program with that one goal in mind: to get a Master's degree in the United States. She diligently attended all of the webinar training and showed up to mentoring sessions with questions to ask and her resume to work on. With mentorship and clarity on the pathway to getting a Master's degree, Chitra put in the work and networked with people who could be an advisor to her. Her dedication and hard work have paid off, as she was invited to apply for a Master's program. She once again put in the work during mentoring sessions; we went over her personal statements back and forth making revisions, and now she just started her Master's program in Illinois.Chitra's success is one of my proudest moments in guiding passionate students to achieve their wildlife conservation dreams. Through persistence and unconventional approaches, her story is one of seeking creative solutions when traditional paths are blocked.This podcast is a must-listen for any student or professional struggling with how to break into a competitive field like wildlife biology. Chitra's passion and resourcefulness demonstrate that we can break through limitations. Her success proves that anyone with grit and vision can manifest their goals despite real and perceived obstacles.Specifically, we discussed:Chitra's journey from attending a conference on turtle conservation to launching her own research project in NepalThe barriers Chitra faced as an international student trying to access information and opportunitiesHow enrolling in the Successful Wildlife Professional gave Chitra the custom strategic support she neededChitra's ultimate success in securing her dream master's position researching turtles in the United States And MORE!!I'm Dr. Stephanie Manka (formerly Schuttler), a wildlife biologist of nearly 20 yrs with 20+ peer-reviewed scientific publications, author of the book Getting a Job in Wildlife Biology: What It's Like and What You Need to Know (https://www.amazon.com/Getting-Job-Wildlife-Biology-What/dp/B08JDYXS4G/) and founder of Fancy Scientist.
