Welcome back to another episode of The Earth Sea Love Podcast.
During Season 3, we are producing a number of mini series focusing on specific issues.
In this episode with the lovely Kwesia Smith-Gul, known usually as City Girl in Nature, and your host Sheree Mack will be talking about:
Bio:
Kwesia X
Kwesia grew up in Deptford, an inner city area of South-East London. Along with many of her
friends, neighbours and peers, who all experienced a great deal of the challenges that come
with living in an area, and with people, who have often been neglected, excluded and
marginalised.
She struggled a great deal with making sense of senseless violence and trauma, she had
faced, she found herself homeless, moving from sofa to sofa, and struggling with her mental
health and well-being. Her life was chaotic, often harsh, without meaning or any sense of
direction or purpose.
At her lowest, she received what could be regarded as a gift and a blessing. An opportunity
to be part of a British Exploring Society’s expedition to the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest. She
spent 3 weeks in a remote part of the jungle, with no phone or contact with the outside
world, & with a group of people that she barely knew.
This, in many ways, was a life-changing experience for her. She experienced the beauty of
nature, where there was no judgement, just life teaming with energy and opportunity. And
bonds of friendship and loyalty with strangers who had to discover ways to live and work
together in order to be successful. On her return she started to think about connecting with
other people, particularly with young people like herself, some of whom have never had the
opportunity to experience anything other than poverty and hardship. She wanted to explore
if a connection with nature, could touch them in a similar way that it had with herself.
This led to the start of City Girl in Nature, as a way to give back to her community. To share
her love and passion for the outdoors, and belief that everybody should have the chance to
be healed, to be nourished, and to life with abundance.
Please do join her on my journey and keep up-to date with progress.
