What’s your relationship like with nature?

This is a question podcast host Marion always asks her guests on her award-winning show, Black Earth Podcast. She also does some amazing work in earth care and is a board member of Global Greengrants Fund UK.

We talked about our beautiful planet and some of the things we could all do to help make it a better place. Some deep dives include the aftermath of natural disasters and how reparations could attain climate justice for poor nations, particularly for those living in the global south.

Our host also finds out about an act of kindness one can do for the planet, which involves a sharing economy concept to help minimise mass consumption.

Eiji and Charisse are nurses who work in the UK but are originally from the Philippines. We chatted about their journeys on what made them decide to move away from home and some of the joys and challenges they each experienced. Besides asking what kindness means to them, other discussion points include societal stigmas for male nurses, cultural identity and the mass recognition Filipino nurses received during COVID.

Our host also looks back at how she was once looked after by a Filipina nurse on a family trip and reminisces of a Filipino dish that she associates with comfort.
