We are so happy to be releasing this episode with Shaira Begum now. Shaira is doing some great work in horticultural therapy as this is used to support women on their road to recovery from domestic abuse.
In this episode we talk about:
Shaira Begum is an environmental justice organizer, working on health and climate projects with over 10 years experience as an environmental educator, trainer and facilitator.
Keen to live somewhere in the countryside one day with her own chickens, market garden , a fat poly tunnel and goats... Dreaming big!
Shaira was born in Brick Lane and still lives here , grateful for her educators and elders around who have always shown her the benefits of growing our own produce from our own motherlands, the food that we grew up on. Shaira has a background in training and facilitation with community groups, runs food growing and nature connection workshops, naturally runs inclusive participatory ways of working within community care context and bringing lived experience to the forefront.
