More than Cacao: Empowering Women and Planet Conscious Endeavours - Floris Niu

Show notes

This RAW episode is quite raw indeed: The interview was taken just outside the Tauranga food show, and you'll hear some background sounds. The seagulls gave a concert especially at a crucial point of the conversation!

Floris Niu lives in Samoa and runs an organic Cacao plantation, Ms Sunshine Organic Farms, as well as taking a stand for women organic farmers through various organisations.

In this episode, she shares how her life's challenges have brought her to reconnect with her ancestral land, the necessity and power of women's collaboration, and the healing properties of food grown naturally - especially Cacao as a medicine.

You will get to hear about planet conscious, about Growness, about remembering that Women can do anything when they stop trying to do everything and instead start choosing to create the things they are missing in the world. Floris is a great example for that herself, taking a radical stand for organic women farmers.

This episode is rich like a cup of warm, thick organic Cacao. Listen in for yourself.
