How do we deconstruct binaries and colonial structures to flourish communities rooted in generosity?

In this episode entitled Roots Of Humility, Amisha talks to Asmaa Guedira, a facilitator, consultant, artist, writer and designer catalysing transformation at the intersection of system change, leadership, feminism and regenerative futures. A Moroccan nomad, Asmaa thrives to build bridges between different cultures. From managing international development programs in South West Asia and North Africa to designing transformative learning experiences for leaders in Berlin, California, France or Australia, Asmaa has been connecting artivists, changemakers and leaders in over 20 countries. Asmaa is a fellow of the Policy Center for the Global South and BMW Foundation Leaders Program, and is involved in various global networks like OuiShare, Amanitas, Global Innovation Gathering, Sandbox or African Crossroads. She co-authored 2 books: 'Société Collaborative' and 'Le Manifeste des Crapauds Fous' and is currently writing her memoir about identity. Asmaa currently lives on Bundjalung Country, where she runs eco-feminists retreats with WELA. Her art addresses the colonisation of our bodies and mind, our intimacy, identity and the role of healing.

Amisha and Asmaa share their experiences of a privileged 'nomadic' lifestyle highlighting its shadows intertwined with new-age change-maker communities. They explore how we can re-invent these by deconstructing binaries and colonial structures so we may flourish communities that are rooted in ancient nomadic principles of generosity and humility that will serve our collective future. Asmaa shares her vulnerable journey of migration integrating an intersectional identity, blooming her queerness and a full sense of belonging. We learn that sharing our personal stories and growing our humility is a vital part of how we can all contribute to decolonisation; an invitation to understand our lives differently and to share knowledge that will move us from an extractive to a generous, simple and slow way of life.
