Hello bishes!
I was invited to talk in the Global Zeitgeist Day 2018 in Frankfurt Germany last 7 April 2018.
This was a big deal to me. Years before, I regularly spoke to female audiences of thousands to get them to buy more. This time, I am speaking to about 200 forward thinking people on buying less.
Real change can only happen from the ground up: from us, the individual to our neighborhood and to the whole world. And us women, hold the future in our hands.
It starts by knowing the real impact of our decision and making a conscious effort to make better choices, making those choices stick that they become habits and then on to uniting with others so we can effect change on the local level.
I tried to make the serious subject as amusing as possible relating the process to things we are familiar and passionate about sprinkling it with some tidbits on myself and my mini-theories on light subjects as:

I tried to make the serious subject as amusing as possible relating the process to things we are familiar and passionate about sprinkling it with some tidbits on myself and my mini-theories on light subjects as:

- Who is better at moving on? Men or women?
- Who is better at moving on? Men or women?
- How many shades of lipstick do you really need?
- How many outfits do you really need?
