73: Creating community through commerce, with Bianca Black.

For transcript and show notes, visit https://www.linsibrownson.com/podcast/73 In the community of Hoedspruit, Limpopo in South Africa, people's lives are interlinked. The adage "it takes a village" is a truism here. People depend on each other, as they each contribute something valuable as well. The town is both farm and safari; The perfect setting for travelers looking for both simplicity and adventure within nature. Giraffes (Twiga in Swahili) make everyday appearances. So naturally, the global impact of COVID-19 has been devastating to this travel-based community. And yet, many of its residents are looking for possibilities rather than worries. Which is exactly what my guest, Bianca Black, has done. Her Mission has always been to celebrate people and contribute to her community. She has an eye for beautiful things, and a desire to share stories. She also has access (resources, privilege, and language) to create a platform that brings people together. In this episode, Bianca and I are talking about creating community through commerce. We talk about the mission behind all of her businesses (what led to this pivot) and where they are going next with Africa Unboxed. I hope you enjoy this brilliant conversation with Bianca Black.
