In this episode of The RISE Traveler, we sit down with Montreal-based entrepreneur Laëtitia Damonsing to explore how her global experiences shaped her identity, worldview, and business. From volunteering in Brazilian communities during the World Cup to working in international diplomacy in Paris and Australia, Laëtitia shares how travel transformed her perspective on privilege, resilience, and representation as a woman of color.Her journey led her to launch DoDo Bazaar, a circular fashion brand redefining waste and sustainability. We also dive into her reflections on immigration, diversity in study abroad, and the urgent need for human-centered policies in today’s divided world.This is a conversation about courage, creativity, and carving new paths—proof that travel can spark both personal transformation and social change.https://www.instagram.com/dodobazaar/?hl=enWebsite: https://www.risetravelinstitute.org YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@risetravelinstitute/featured Instagram: instagram.com/risetravelinstitute
