WECAN Build a Handmade Future With Kirsten Dickerson: Why Traditional Skills are the Way Forward

In this episode of WECAN, Kirsten explores how we can create a handmade future by shifting our perspective on what, and how, we buy. Fast and cheap is not the way forward. We all know we need to get off the consumption hamster wheel and reclaim our power as consumers to change the world. Stephanie is joined by the incredibly resourceful Kirsten Dickerson. She has helped launch and grow both impact businesses and global nonprofits, such as Raven + Lily and Tirzah International. She is the founder of Artist & Nomad and the director of the documentary Handmade Future. Kirsten is a visionary who proves that you don't need a massive studio budget to make a massive impact. She filmed a world-class documentary with almost no resources, and now it’s taking the film festival circuit by storm! We dive into why cultural heritage and traditional skills matter. It’s about more than just "stuff"—it’s about connection. Connection to ourselves, to our surroundings, to others, and to the traditions that define us. Kirsten’s big-picture thinking is truly inspiring. Everything she does, from her time at Raven + Lily to her new life in Waco, Texas, works toward a global vision of a more intentional, beautiful world.We honour and celebrate Kirsten and her purpose, one that we wholeheartedly support. Thank you, Kirsten, for leading so powerfully by example.Visit Artist and Nomad for more: https://artistandnomad.com/#HandmadeFuture #ArtistandNomad #WeCan________________________________________________________________________For any questions or inquiries regarding this video, please reach out to us @Wecan.Shecan 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe, share your thoughts, and tell us who your favourite role model is? 👉 Connect with us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wecan.shecan/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shecan-world/ Substack: https://shecan.substack.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0MAiuylxS5AhxCSQcm8cax?si=003fe73047cd465cYour Story Matters!
