Скачать или смотреть #3: Ajiri Aki: "Representation matters in every aspect of life & business" (highlight episode #3)

As Marian Wright Edelman wisely said, “You can’t be what you can’t see.”

That’s why representation of women—especially women of color—living lives of pleasure, rest, beauty, and joy matters so deeply. It serves as a bright beacon for those yearning for the same.

This clip features one of my dearest friends, Ajiri Aki, from Episode #3 of my podcast On Becoming.

We recorded it over two years ago, but it still feels as fresh and true as ever.

I’ve had a front-row seat to how Ajiri’s embodiment of joy and beauty—as a Black woman, entrepreneur, author, and founder of her signature "The Good Life" retreat—is both inspiring and empowering. The way she lives her beliefs. The way she turns her values into action and claims them as rights, not privileges.

I couldn’t be prouder of Ajiri: how she moves through the world, finds beauty in hidden places, transforms every gathering into a celebration, embraces adventure, and turns strangers into lifelong friends.
