Here's Hoping with Jayda G
Jayda G
Here’s Hoping, hosted by Grammy nominate music producer and DJ Jayda G is a podcast that explores the theme of hope, when we need it, how we find it and why we still have reasons to feel it. We explore guests’ personal journeys with hope, how they’ve formed and navigated the three pillars of having hope - goals, agency and pathway. An environmental toxicologist scientist as well, Jayda recently released her first documentary Blue Carbon on CNN and identified the need to dive further into the theme of hope, with this podcast coming at a time when it is needed most. In the series, Jayda will be speaking to a range of amazing guests, from sustainable fashion pioneers, Ocean conservation scientists, community-focused Grime artists, to people living on the frontlines of climate change, her own family and more.
