Eco Feminism in Practice: German Hoteliers Shireen Aga and Barbara Walker

Today’s program features extraordinary Berlin-based German feminists Shireen Aga and Barbara Walker who have crossed multiple literal and metaphorical borders together as life partners for 50 years with 30 of those years building and running the Mockingbird Hilll Hotel, the first ecotourist hotel in northeastern Jamaica. Their relationship began with the deep friendship between their Jewish mothers, both holocaust surivors, and their respective Indian and Jamaican fathers, whom the two mothers met in Manchester England. They shared their story of having been the owners of the first ecotourism hotel I NE Jamiaca and their lives in Berlin after their retirement during the covid pandemic.
