Listen in and feel heard, by the story of a woman who dedicates her work tirelessly to improve the positioning of women in leadership.When she started her career in corporate banking, and quickly moved through the ranks, to become a high-performer, Dr. Anino Emuwa noticed deeply rooted biases, when she became a mother, despite continuously presenting excellent results. She shares how she had to try hard to convince her colleagues, that she will not be working less, but differently and that everyone will need to get flexible. She realized how in general systematic issues beyond individual performance were holding women back.Dr. Anino shifted her focus to improving global business and society through gender equality leadership.She shares how she organically grew her global community 100 Women @ Davos including women from 109 countries. And emphsizes how change and shifts only happen when people work together towards a united goal and with a united purpose: full representation of women in leadership (even though at current pace this will approximately take another 200 years ...).She talks about barriers to women's leadership: historical workplace structures, socialization of both men and women in traditional roles, organisational policies and cultures that don't reward assertiveness in women, need for equipping women with knowledge and networks. We also discuss how men in leadership need to actively speak out and challenge hierarchical norms - still too little  men are vocal to drive significant change. Dr. Anino is a global expert on women's leadership and works at the intersection of emerging technologies, entrepreneurship and inclusion. She serves on the boards of several organisations, ,is a LinkedIn top voice on gender equity and a TEDx speaker. She served as a judge, coach and regional leader for the Cartier Women's Initiative.####On another note: I am so proud and excited to announce that SHIFT HAPPENS' Season 5 is supported by London based jewellery brand Tilly Sveaas.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Hello Hair Pro Podcast, Todd and Jen unpack the Evolution Trap — the danger salon and barbershop owners face when they stop evolving their business. Complacency might feel comfortable, but in reality, it leads to shrinking profits, bored staff, and clients who notice when nothing changes.Drawing from their own salon experience and mentoring work, Todd and Jen share practical strategies for staying adaptable, auditing systems, and keeping your business fresh — without overwhelming yourself or your team.Key Takeaways:If you're not evolving, you're regressing — because inflation, client expectations, and staff goals are always moving forward.Stability often equals stagnation. Your business can look “fine” while actually losing money and momentum.Staff want growth and opportunity. Without it, your best people will outgrow your business.Clients value consistency but also crave freshness. A business that never changes feels stale.Small, consistent nudges toward improvement compound into massive long-term growth.Timestamps:[00:00] – Intro & Labor Day recording Todd and Jen kick things off on Labor Day[02:00] – Staff complaints vs. staff goals Jen explains why owners should ask their staff about their goals instead of assuming laziness or a lack of work ethic.[05:00] – Defining the Evolution Trap Todd explains why saying “my business is fine” is a red flag — stability without evolution equals stagnation[07:00] – Systems that need revisiting Examples: cleaning lists, product lines, and small changes that create energy and accountability in the salon[10:00] – Why owners resist change Comfort and fear make it easy to default to “just doing more hair” instead of leading[14:00] – Mistaking stability for growth Why repeating the same playbook for 5–10 years leads to declining profit margins, bored clients, and high staff turnover[17:00] – The hidden costs of stagnation How failing to evolve affects money, staff retention, and client experience.[20:00] – Creating opportunity for staff Why your best stylists will leave if they can't see a path forward — and how to give them leadership or education roles[25:00] – Signs you're stuck Haven't raised prices in years, verbal systems only, repeated staff questions, or plateaued growth = trapped[27:00] – How to break free Audit your systems annually, update standards, seek mentorship outside the industry, and use “nudges” (small changes that compound)[32:00] – Lessons from other industries Todd and Jen share ideas borrowed from restaurants and hospitality that salons can adapt.[34:00] – Closing & challenge Final reflections and this week's listener challenge: What's one area of your business that hasn't changed in 3+ years?Resources & LinksSubscribe to our free newsletter, 321 Pro PushFollow us on Instagram: @hellohairproExplore free resources for salon owners: Links and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

La Tanzanie a annoncé fin juillet une interdiction pour les ressortissants étrangers de posséder ou gérer des entreprises dans plusieurs secteurs. La directive provoque un tollé chez son voisin, le Kenya. Alors que Dodoma dit vouloir défendre ses intérêts économiques, Nairobi estime que cette nouvelle mesure va à l'encontre des principes de la Communauté des États d'Afrique de l'Est, dont les deux pays sont membres. Salons de beauté, boutiques de souvenirs, transferts de monnaie sur mobile : en tout, 15 secteurs sont concernés par cette nouvelle directive en Tanzanie. Elle vise à protéger les Tanzaniens de la compétition étrangère. Mais elle provoque la grogne du voisin kényan. L'Association des conducteurs du Kenya dit avoir reçu des appels inquiets, notamment de la part des guides touristiques : « Ils font partie de la liste des emplois désormais interdits pour les étrangers, précise Peter Murima, président de cette association professionnelle. Or, nous avons beaucoup de guides qui travaillent autour de la frontière, dans les parcs de Serengeti en Tanzanie ou Amboseli au Kenya. Dans le secteur du transport aussi, nous avons eu des retours de membres qui dénoncent le fait d'avoir déjà été visés par des contrôles superflus de la part des forces de l'ordre. » Frein aux investissements en Tanzanie ? Au-delà des petits entrepreneurs kényans, les conséquences de cette mesure pourraient être plus larges. « C'est le signal qu'envoie cette nouvelle mesure qui est très important, souligne James Shikwati, directeur de l'Inter Region Economic Network, un think tank économique basé à Nairobi. Ce sont les petites entreprises qui sont visées, mais les grandes compagnies observent tout cela et s'en inquiètent. La confiance s'érode et cela pourrait freiner les investissements du Kenya vers la Tanzanie. » Décision politique Cet économiste y voit aussi une décision politique, avant les élections d'octobre prochain en Tanzanie. Les autorités kényanes, elles, ont dénoncé une mesure qui va à l'encontre de la Communauté des États d'Afrique de l'Est (EAC) et de son Protocole de marché commun. Nairobi a toutefois assuré ne pas réciproquer pour l'instant, pour donner une chance au dialogue. « Rivalité par intermittence » Avec le Kenya, qui se plaint aussi de frais de visas pour ses ressortissants souhaitant faire du business en Tanzanie, les tensions ne sont pas nouvelles. « Le Kenya et la Tanzanie ont toujours entretenu une sorte de rivalité par intermittence, rappelle James Shikwati. La Tanzanie a eu un président radical, Magufuli, qui était davantage tourné vers l'intérieur dans ses politiques économiques. Il a notamment chassé les investisseurs étrangers du secteur minier, de certains emplois. Or, son ancienne vice-présidente est la présidente actuelle. » L'EAC a rappelé dans un communiqué que les États partenaires du Protocole de marché commun s'étaient engagés à « promouvoir l'intégration régionale en supprimant les obstacles au commerce, aux services et aux investissements ».

Hochverehrte Zuhörerschaft, welch ein entzückendes Schauspiel sich diesmal in unseren auditiven Salons entfaltete! Keine Geringere als die famose Frieda Lewin beehrte Fanny und Alina mit ihrer Gegenwart. Autorin, Mutter und Wortakrobatin – sie brachte nicht nur Geschichten von Geburtswundern, Frühchen-Drama und derber Hornhaut mit, sondern auch das glanzvolle Geheimnis ihres neuen Werkes Mom Life Balance. Es wurde gelacht, gestöhnt, gegruselt (Stichwort: „Hufe-Füße“) und getröstet. Zwischen Kolostrum-Spritzen, Kinderparty im Bauch und Kitaschwärmereien wagten wir uns an die wirklich schweren Themen: Geburtstrauma, Scham, Therapie und die Frage, ob man jemals „bereit“ für ein Kind ist. Das Ergebnis: herrlich ehrlicher Real Talk, durchzogen von goldenen Lachanfällen und der beruhigenden Erkenntnis, dass keine Mutter je allein mit ihren Sorgen ist. Ein Fest für alle, die schon einmal dachten: „Verdammt, ich hab doch gar keine Ahnung.“ Willkommen im Club, Darling. Du bist schwanger und fühlst dich gerade überfordert, unsicher oder allein? Das Hilfetelefon „Schwangere in Not“ ist jederzeit für dich da – anonym, kostenlos und in 19 Sprachen.

She shifted and worked as a producer, comedy teacher, and writer to stay connected in the business.At 59 she had a break through idea:  Funny Women of A Certain Age. A stand up comedy show featuring older comedian women.

Przemek Schreck ist künstlerischer Gesamtleiter des Vereins Die Erzählerei. Am liebsten spricht er über Kafka. Seit mehr als zwölf Jahren zieht er durch die Straßen von Prag und erzählt und erzählt. Er hält Vorträge in Schulen, Bibliotheken, Salons und leidenschaftlich gerne in Kaffeehäusern, wo Kafka sowieso hingehört und wo er ihn am besten mit seinen Erzählungen „lebendig machen“ kann. Das tut er mit Hingabe. Er stellt uns Kafka als lustigen und geselligen Menschen vor, jenseits aller „Klischeebilder“, die wir von ihm haben. Um es in einem für Kafka-Prosa typischen Als-ob-Satz zu sagen: Wenn Przemek Schreck von Kafka erzählt, ist es, als ob das Schwarzweißbild, das wir kennen, immer farbiger und schließlich dreidimensional würde, als ob uns Franz Kafka gegenübersäße und uns anlächelt. (Wiederholung vom 3. November 2024)

As I was reflecting on my experience, there was one thing that stood out. It wasn't that we had an amazing meal, it was that every single tiny detail was amazing! It made me think about our industry, and where salons are missing the mark. In this episode, I recount my time at Alinea and discuss ways we can create the same sort of experience at our salon.

Es gibt ihn via Webplayer & RSS-Feed (zum Hören im Podcatcher deiner Wahl, auch bei Apple Podcasts und Spotify). Wenn du Salon-Stürmer bist, lade weitere Hörer von der Gästeliste ein. 00:00:00 Vor dem Salon Wolfgang und Stefan kündigen ihren bevorstehenden Live-Podcast in Frankfurt an und steigen dann mit einem aktuellen Trendthema ein: Labubus. Sie analysieren das Phänomen der kleinen Sammelfiguren des chinesischen Unternehmens Popmart, die weltweit einen Hype ausgelöst haben. Diskutiert werden die strategische künstliche Verknappung, der hohe Sammlerwert und die geopolitische Dimension: China entwickelt sich von der "Werkbank der Welt" zu einer Nation, die mit eigenen Marken und IPs kulturelle Softpower global etabliert. Der Hype wird auch als Ausdruck einer gesellschaftlichen "Verplüschung" interpretiert – ein Wunsch nach Trost und Kuscheltieren in harten Zeiten. 00:13:14 Alaska-Gipfel Das Treffen zwischen Trump und Putin in Alaska wird analysiert. Während die Körpersprache zunächst einen Vorteil für Putin nahelegt, ist das Ausbleiben eines schnellen Deals keine Überraschung. Die Diskussion kritisiert die spekulative Medienberichterstattung im Vorfeld und beleuchtet die sich wandelnde Haltung zum Ukraine-Krieg. Im Kontrast zu harten Forderungen nach einem militärischen Sieg Russlands steht die neue Rhetorik von Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz, der nun auf einen Waffenstillstand und Friedensverhandlungen drängt. Empfohlen wird die Arte-Doku "Die Nuklearfalle", die die Abhängigkeit der USA von russischem Uran für ihre KI- und Energie-Ambitionen aufzeigt. Abschließend wird ein Film von Wim Wenders kritisiert, der eine problematische Analogie zwischen der Kapitulation im Zweiten Weltkrieg und dem heutigen Ukraine-Konflikt zieht. 00:43:12 Trumps demographische Siegeserklärung Stefan beleuchtet die weitreichenden Folgen von Donald Trumps Politik, die erstmals seit 50 Jahren zu einer negativen Migrationsbilanz in den USA geführt hat. Er skizziert, wie Einwanderung seit den 1960er Jahren das enorme Bevölkerungs- und Wirtschaftswachstum der USA befeuert und die amerikanische Softpower gestärkt hat. Die Abkehr von dieser Politik gefährdet ein prognostiziertes BIP-Wachstum von fast neun Billionen Dollar und schwächt den Wissenschafts- und Technologiesektor, der stark von "importierter Kompetenz" abhängig ist – über die Hälfte der promovierten Informatiker und Ingenieure sind nicht in den USA geboren. Die zentrale These lautet, dass die gigantischen Investitionen in KI auf der spekulativen Hoffnung beruhen, dieser von Menschen verursachte demografische und ökonomische Aderlass könne durch Maschinen kompensiert werden. 00:58:57 Salon für Juli 2025 Ein kurzer Übergang zum Hauptteil des Salons. 00:59:54 Empire of AI & Sam Altman Im Zentrum steht die Diskussion zweier Bücher über OpenAI und seinen Gründer Sam Altman. Die Debatte dreht sich um die quasi-religiöse Überzeugung der Tech-Elite, eine künstliche Superintelligenz (AGI) erschaffen zu können, die alle Probleme der Menschheit löst. Dieser Glaube rechtfertigt einen neuen, digitalen Kolonialismus: die rücksichtslose Ausbeutung von globalen Daten, menschlicher Arbeitskraft in Billiglohnländern (Clickworker) und natürlichen Ressourcen wie Wasser. Sam Altmans manipulative und lügenhafte Führungskultur sowie die internen Machtkämpfe, die zu seiner kurzzeitigen Entlassung führten, werden detailliert nachgezeichnet. Kritisiert wird auch das enge Bündnis zwischen den Tech-Konzernen und dem US-Staat, das weit über normale Lobbyarbeit hinausgeht. Die ökonomische Vision, menschliche Arbeit durch KI zu ersetzen und die Bevölkerung mit einem Grundeinkommen zu versorgen, wird als fundamental fehlerhaft und nicht-kapitalistisch entlarvt, da sie die Quelle der Wertschöpfung – die menschliche Arbeit – eliminiert. 03:00:30 Dorothee Elmiger: Die Niederländerinnen Wolfgang empfiehlt den Roman "Die Holländerinnen" von Dorothee Elmiger. Das Buch besticht durch seine komplexe Erzählstruktur: Es handelt sich um die Mitschrift einer Poetikvorlesung, in der eine Schriftstellerin über ihre Teilnahme an einem Theaterprojekt berichtet, das wiederum das Verschwinden zweier Frauen im Dschungel untersucht. Das gesamte Werk ist in indirekter Rede verfasst, wodurch mehrere Reflexionsebenen entstehen. Trotz dieser intellektuellen Konstruktion gelingt es dem Roman, eine unmittelbare und ergreifende Wirkung zu entfalten und zentrale Fragen über Literatur, Verantwortung und die Möglichkeit ekstatischer Erfahrung zu stellen. 03:14:12 Carlott Bru: Wohnungstausch: Ich will deine, nimm du meine Basierend auf einem Artikel aus "Die Zeit" analysiert Stefan, warum das Konzept des Wohnungstauschs in Deutschland scheitert. Das Hauptproblem ist ökonomischer Natur: Ältere Menschen in großen, günstigen Altbauwohnungen haben keinen Anreiz, in deutlich teurere, kleinere Wohnungen mit neuen Mietverträgen zu ziehen. Statistiken belegen das Missverhältnis: Auf eine Person, die sich verkleinern will, kommen fünf Parteien, die eine größere Wohnung suchen. Staatliche Tauschprogramme haben nur marginalen Erfolg. Das Fazit: Wohnungstausch ist eine gut gemeinte Idee, die an der Realität des Mietmarktes und den finanziellen Anreizen zerschellt. 03:20:31 Ted Kaczynskis Manifest Wolfgang wirft einen Blick auf das 30 Jahre alte Manifest des "Unabombers" Ted Kaczynski und zeigt dessen verblüffende Aktualität auf. Kaczynskis Hauptfeind war nicht nur die Technologie, sondern der von ihm definierte "Leftismus", der Feminismus, Homosexuellen-Rechte und Political Correctness umfasst. Viele seiner Argumente – die Kritik an einer übersozialisierten Gesellschaft, der Hass auf westliche Zivilisation und Rationalität – finden sich heute eins zu eins in den Diskursen der Neuen Rechten und im Kulturkampf wieder. Wolfgang dekonstruiert Kaczynskis Denken als inkohärent, da es den Kapitalismus ignoriert und paradoxerweise ein hochmodernes Konzept wie "Selbstverwirklichung" einfordert, um die Moderne zu bekämpfen. 03:43:17 Isolde Ruhdorfer: Es ist kein Zufall, dass Russland ukrainische Kinder entführt Stefan präsentiert alarmierende demografische Zahlen aus einem Krautreporter-Artikel. Die Bevölkerung der Ukraine ist seit den 90er-Jahren von über 50 Millionen auf heute geschätzte 38 Millionen oder weniger geschrumpft. Allein zwischen 2022 und 2023 gab es einen Rückgang von 8,1 Prozent. Gleichzeitig kämpft auch Russland mit einer demografischen Krise und hat die Veröffentlichung von Geburten- und Sterblichkeitsstatistiken eingestellt. Der Text legt nahe, dass Russlands demografischer Kollaps ein zentraler, uneingestandener Kriegsgrund sein könnte, um durch die Annexion der Ukraine die eigene Bevölkerung zu vergrößern. 03:47:30 Marie-Kristin Boese: Als kolumbianischer Söldner im Ukraine-Krieg Wolfgang fasst einen Tagesschau-Bericht über kolumbianische Söldner zusammen, die für die Ukraine kämpfen. Hauptmotivation ist das Geld: Statt 400 Dollar in der heimischen Armee verdienen sie 3.000 Dollar im Monat. Der Artikel schildert die brutale Realität des Krieges, insbesondere die erdrückende russische Überlegenheit bei Drohnen. Diese Söldner werden als "Kanonenfutter" eingesetzt und riskieren zudem, bei einer Gefangennahme von Russlands Verbündeten wie Venezuela direkt an Moskau ausgeliefert zu werden. 03:51:01 Carl Zimmer: For Some Patients, the ‘Inner Voice' May Soon Be Audible Stefan erörtert einen Artikel der New York Times über Fortschritte bei Gehirn-Computer-Schnittstellen. Forscher können inzwischen Sprache mit hoher Genauigkeit direkt aus der Gehirnaktivität von gelähmten Patienten dekodieren. Die Technologie wirft jedoch grundlegende ethische Fragen zur "mentalen Privatsphäre" auf: Wie stellt man sicher, dass nur bewusst zur Kommunikation gedachte Gedanken ausgelesen werden und nicht die unkontrollierte "innere Stimme"? Die Forschung stößt dabei an die Grenzen des Verständnisses, wie das Gehirn überhaupt denkt, bevor Gedanken in Sprache formuliert werden. 04:00:47 Tichys Einblick: Friedrich Merz, hör die Signale, es ist das letzte Gefecht Im Rahmen einer "Feindbeobachtung" seziert Wolfgang einen Artikel des rechtskonservativen Magazins "Tichys Einblick". Der Text attackiert Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz scharf von rechts, macht ihn für die steigende Zahl von Insolvenzen verantwortlich und wirft ihm Wortbruch bei Steuersenkungen vor. Wolfgang identifiziert als treibende Kraft dahinter den reaktionären Lobbyverband "Die Familienunternehmer" und interpretiert den Artikel als Versuch, eine Brücke für enttäuschte konservative Unternehmer zur AfD zu bauen. Die im Artikel geäußerte Kritik an der Staatsverschuldung wird als ökonomisch ignorant entlarvt, da sie verschweigt, dass diese Ausgaben größtenteils wieder in die Privatwirtschaft zurückfließen. 04:08:54 Novus Quartet spielt Brahms Streichquartette Zum Abschluss gibt es eine musikalische Empfehlung von Wolfgang: eine neue Einspielung der drei Streichquartette von Johannes Brahms durch das Novus Quartet. Er erläutert, wie sehr Brahms unter dem Erbe Beethovens litt und sich lange schwertat, seine eigenen Quartette zu veröffentlichen. Die Interpretation des Novus Quartetts wird für ihren vollen, symphonischen "Schönklang" gelobt, der die dichte motivische Arbeit und die komplexe Struktur der Werke zugänglich macht und auch Brahms-Skeptiker begeistern kann. Literaturliste Erleben wir einen neuen Kolonialismus? Ja, sagt Karen Hao und erklärt in ihrem Buch “Empire of AI. Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI”, wie die KI-Konzerne sich die digitale sowie analoge Welt einverleiben und wie Altman immer mächtiger werden konnte. penguin.co.uk Wer ist der Erfinder von ChatGPT?

Rachel Cook Northway shares with me her personal journey to clean beauty. Her childhood interest in skincare was already influenced by her mother's beauty routine. After an early career in the nonprofit sector, Rachel transitioned into the clean beauty industry and worked with various brands and retailers. And built her expertise and passion.When she was pregnant with her second child, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. This experience propelled her to launch her own business post-remission. Rachel is helping women (and men) to navigate and personalise the clean beauty space.Her beauty philosophy and recommendations are simple but efficient: focus on lips, eyes and underarms as key areas for clean product adoption. She emphasizes efficacy and plant-based alternatives in clean beauty. And has a range of brands that she recommends and curates for individual needs.Rachel also advocates for occasional breaks from deodorant use, especially for breast cancer survivors.Her daily rituals for her personal wellness and recovery are morning prayers, co-sleeping with her youngest child, intermittend fasting and a plant-basesd diet. And she is avid in her workout routine on 6 times per week.For her business she is planning on expanding into her own studio space to receive clients in person. She also feels that it is important to refine the language clean beauty, to emphasize wellness over appearance standards. To learn more about my guest Rachel Cook Northway, please visit her social media pages:Instagram: @thenorthwayeditWebsite: The Northway EditTo learn more about SHIFT HAPPENS, click here To learn more about Claudia's business Curated Conversations and her Salons in New York, Zurich and Berlin, click hereYou can also connect with Claudia on Instagram @shifthappens.podcast and LinkedIn at ClaudiaMahlerNYCThis podcast is created, produced and hosted by Claudia Mahler.Social Media support Magdalena Reckendrees

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITA late-night town hall for Alabama Senate candidate Jared Hudson sparked reflection on the complexities of modern politics. Hudson, a Navy SEAL who founded an organization rescuing trafficked children, left me with mixed emotions about his candidacy. While his service background is impressive, his answers during Q&A revealed the familiar political dance of "yes, but..." particularly on immigration enforcement—supporting deportation in principle while suggesting leniency for established immigrant families.This political examination sits alongside a personal mystery: the sudden, overnight disappearance of a nail salon I'd frequented for six years. The owners—a married couple with young children—sent a quick text about rent increases and vanished completely by the next day. Their hasty departure raises questions about potential immigration concerns that mirror our national conversation about enforcement and human impact.Breaking news from New York City further complicated the evening, as details emerged about a tragic shooting at a Park Avenue skyscraper. The shooter left writings blaming the NFL for neurological issues, requesting posthumous brain examination. What caught my attention, however, was Mayor Eric Adams' specific identification of the fallen officer as "an immigrant from Bangladesh"—language that prompts questions about how we define American identity and citizenship, especially against the backdrop of nationwide police staffing challenges.These seemingly disconnected events—a Senate campaign, a vanished business, and a tragic shooting—weave together the complex tapestry of American life in 2023. They remind us that politics is never just abstract policy but involves real people with families, livelihoods, and lives at stake. What TV theme song best captures the complicated emotions of these times? Perhaps that's a question worth pondering as we navigate our increasingly complex world.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

Lange Zeit durften Frauen weder politisch entscheiden, noch öffentlich mitreden. Vor rund 300 Jahren hatten bürgerliche Frauen dann die Idee, Gelehrte einfach zu sich nach Hause einzuladen. In den so genannten Salons, ihren Wohnzimmern, wurde angeregt diskutiert, debattiert - und sich emanzipiert. Autorin: Susanne Brandl (BR 2025)

From Gabriela's bio: "In 2013 I was living in Mozambique as a diplomatic wife with a 5 year old gilr and working remotely on a succesful youth program that was originally devised to bring talented teenagers to the world economic forum. The organization that hosted the program was undergoing a deep redisign and despite the success of the program it was decided that the goals, international development through the work of youth, did not align with the organization's core mission. At that point it was clear that any professional pursue I might have would need to be something of my own creation. These were the years before remote working was normalised and the luxury of flexible remote working were not widely available. At the same time, my work which had focused on supporting the community development projects young people from our network wre implementing to tackle big issues had really changed my perspective of what a person with a passion for improving the world could do. I had met young people with devastating life stories who despite all odds, or perhaps, because of them, were truly changing for the better the lives of those around them. At that point I was convinced that I needed to find a way to continue this work and how crucial it was to support those young people who are actively working towards a fair, peaceful and sustainable world.This moment was profoundly meaningful because it really pushed me to pursue my sense of purpose. To work and have a career were always life goals of mine and being faced with the reality of having to move countries every for years made pursuing those goals really difficult. I was also deeply inspired by the young people I was working with, they opened up my eyes of how important it is to work on things you are deeply passionate about and believe in.. The realization that I could not rely on existing structures to align with my passions and professional goals was both daunting and liberating. It forced me to embrace the idea that I could, and should, carve out my own path—one that reflected my commitment to fostering meaningful change.I learned that meaningful work doesn't always fit into traditional molds and more often than not it might not be remunerated. It requires creativity, persistence, and the courage to take risks. This period of my life instilled in me the belief that creating something of value, even in uncertain circumstances, is worth pursuing. It was a lesson in adaptability, self-reliance, and persistence, which are values that continue to guide me today."Gabriela is a binational of Mexico and Switzerland, having lived in Georgia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Brazil, Switzerland, and the United States.
