Musician Emily Barker and entrepreneur Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood share a love of coffee and storytelling. They also share a drive to make a difference, whether that be by small, direct acts, by shining a light on others’ work, or simply by listening and learning. Here they talk about the coffee plantations on Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique and the tree-planting projects of the The Green Belt Movement in Kenya. Both movements are intrinsically connected to the fight for women’s rights and education for girls, as well as the more obvious environmental campaigns.
