Colombian Social Entrepreneur Liseth Martinez

From Portugal to Colombia, we're back with another amazing multilingual podcast episode that you'll have to stop what you are doing and listen. Guest host Lisa Marie Zapata is in conversation with Liseth Martinez, who oversees marketing and branding for the ancestral drink and brand Viche Canao. With a strong sense of cultural roots and a fighting mentality to stop the eradication of industries in Afro-Colombian communities, she believes in the importance of preserving and recovering ancestral knowledge from generation to generation. In this episode, learn more about viche, which can only be made by Afro-Colombians, and how Liseth and the community are continuously advocating to be able to create a drink that is inherently a part of their heritage. This podcast episode is also available in Spanish.
