309) Manpreet Kalra: Deconstructing saviorism from heropreneurship and voluntourism

from Green Dreamer: Seeding change towards collective healing, sustainability, regeneration · host Kaméa Chayne

What harms do saviorist narratives perpetuate through voluntourism and heropreneurship—when they hold the intentions of doing good? How does the dichotomy of the Global North and Global South reinforce certain ideologies around societal progress? In this episode, we welcome Manpreet Kaur Kalra, a social impact advisor, educator, and activist working to decolonize storytelling. She navigates the intersection of impact communication and sustainable global development. She educates using a variety of mediums, including the Art of Citizenry Podcast, where she shares her nuanced and unfiltered insights on building a more just and equitable future. The song featured in this episode is There is Still Time by Laura Palicka.
