Eco-Rapper Hila the Earth

As a science communicator, I’m always on the lookout for people with innovative, creative and accessible ideas who say no to the classic dry and mundane or overwhelming and intense communications methods we scientists can be guilty of. Social media is a frequent outlet of the videos, graphics and written pieces that I create, and I follow many other activists and creative conservationists, who regularly fill me with inspiration, which I very much appreciate in a world where doom and gloom often dominates. Enter…Hila the Earth - an eco rapper, with whom my very first encounter was watching one of her amazing videos, in which she is twerking next to a giant glowing mushroom, dressed as an Earth cheerleader, rapping about mycelium. I went back through her archives and found raps about soil, recycling, composting, and even an eco-friendly remix of Cardi B’s WAP. Suffice to say, I was instantly hooked.I wanted to get Hila the Earth on the podcast to learn more about the person inside the giant Earth costume, what motivates her and, with a whole world of inspiration to rap about, how she decides on her next topic. I hope you enjoy this episode, and the music of Hila’s that I’ve featured within it!EarthToHumansPod.com Get full access to Earth to Humans Podcast's Substack at earthtohumanspodcast.substack.com/subscribe
