In this episode, I sit down with Sophie Williams—author of three books, TED speaker, and UN delegate. We dive into Sophie’s career progression, from high-profile roles to working for herself, and how she creates roadmaps that align with her values, whether she’s freelancing or not. Sophie graciously shares about being an autistic, young Black woman with close proximity to whiteness, and how this unique experience shapes her work life.

Join us for a rich and inspiring conversation on authenticity, identity, and carving out your own space in the working world.

In this episode of Unbought and Unbothered, Helina Tesega, founder of Eat Ethio, shares her journey from Shanghai to London, and finally to Margate, where she now nurtures her family and business. Helina is a herbalist, homeschooling mom, cultural curator, and natural artist who uses her brand to celebrate Ethiopian culture and food. We discuss how the pandemic inspired her to create a childhood for her son that echoes her own, and how she resists confining her venture to any single idea. This conversation left me truly inspired.
