#KeynoteAlert! I am beyond honoured to deliver the keynote speech for the second time at the virtual Global Eco Artisans Awards & Conference on 7th December. The topic I chose is this: “The Humanity of Creativity” that touches on morality, ancestry, ethics and compassion as the guiding light for an economy of kindness. Thank you AGAATI Foundation for giving me the privilege of being mentor, ambassador and brand member. In my keynote last year, the topic was “Craft and Kranti-Revolution of the Heart and Hand”, & this year, I am urging for an inner revolution amongst each AGAATI craft member & listeners - to become activists in their own communities. CRAFTIVISM must be a deep seated need and purpose to affect global change. Thank you my dearest sister @salonirathor for listening to my tiny voice. To @maria_issa_ for the beautiful photograph and to @joannasharonn for being my right hand in this ! ***** The Global Eco Artisan Awards and Conference is back! Link for registration is in the bio 🙌.
