Send us a textThis week’s guest is serial social entrepreneur Sonalie Figueiras. She is the founder & editor-in-chief of Green Queen, an award-winning impact media platform advocating for social & environmental change in Hong Kong with a mission to shift consumer behaviour through inspiring & empowering original content. Sonalie paints a picture of what the climate crisis consciousness in Hong Kong and Asia as a whole and what she is trying to do with her Green Queen Media Platform.There were definitely some clues in her childhood to the woman she became – not least in being bullied for being different, but more importantly how she used a natural journalistic flair to create magazines to entertain and educate her peers, from a young age. Then her health journey took her down a long and frustrating path in which she experienced medical misogyny and a series of no answers. That was until she decided to take her own health and well-being into her own hands. Out of the ashes of all those seemingly wasted years she created her life around health, well-being & green living. And this led to wanting to help others in the same way. And so her attention focussed on Green Queen magazine/media platform, Sustainable packaging and Climate Tech. She talks about giving people choices, ideas, stories and information to live a healthier, greener, kinder life.And if she could rip up the system and start again she would focus on circularity, degrowth, indigenous learnings, biophilia, regenerative systems, celebration of difference and matriarchy.Thanks so much Sonalie, for creating a media platform that encourages debate on the topics around climate change and green solutions.Thanks also for showing us how we can rise up from our own personal set-backs and channel our phoenix-like energy into something bigger than ourselves.
