Authenticity Speaks Volumes: Anita Joshi


Anita Joshi on personal empowerment.

Anita does it all. Partly because she's capable, partly because she cares deeply, partly because she knows she may as well do what she's passionate about. She lets "the system" work for her where it can, and does things a better way when it's broken. She's got some fun and meaningful projects underway right now. In this conversation, we talk about:

  • Reducing barriers to education for girls in Mozambique

  • Brazil

  • Rural development

  • Boren Fellowship

  • Fulbright Fellowship

  • D-Prize

  • Empowerment

  • Entrepreneurship

  • Foccacia

  • Chai

  • Hitting rock bottom

  • Asking for help

  • Clarity

  • Failure

  • Personal, familial, and cultural authenticity

  • Bureaucracy

  • Push-back

  • Inspiring others to become agents of change in their own community

  • Fearlessness

  • First World Problems

Anita can be found at the Future Spark Global, or Chai Five Tea (this is her Etsy site, but her full Chai5Tea website should be up this week!). Click the image of the video below to watch the interview.
