1 AUG 2024 · Everyone has a story to tell and has a unique contribution to the world. I am excited to launch the Voices Less Heard podcast. This podcast will spotlight conversations with “ordinary” people doing extraordinary work.

Imperfect as the world might be, the current polycrisis presents an opportunity for us to hear these different stories, learn from one another while building inclusive communities and societies. In this first season I speak to people doing amazing work in Canada and around the world. From entrepreneurs, grant makers, world renowned early childhood development experts to social justice activists each episode will have interesting stories.
