Random Goodies Collection
Goody bag time, blog style!
1. Found another scarf:
Mugisha, which means "blessing" in Kinyarwanda, scarf, $38, made by a young group of refugee women in Kenya. Read more here. The nonprofit behind this, Heshima Kenya, is pretty gahmazing.
2. Aand... Bracelets made of PVC pipe:
They're crafted by the Himba, an indigenous people of Namibia who actually started making these bracelets to add flair to their traditional garb while using up otherwise-junked PVC pipe ... and now you can snag your own (and find the whole story) on Ethical Ocean for only $15.52.
3. Final surprise ... A couple Billabong Pipe Masters shots, taken by moi, on the second day of the competition:
(John John Florence there with the board -- he ended up winning the Triple Crown.)
(My lovely friend Chels, who accompanied me.)
(Unknown surfer takes flight.)
Happy Wednesday all, wishing you plenty of jingles and stuff.

TEDxBoulder and Colors Mag Inspiration
Just a few finds that I haven't been able to get out of my head, so figured I should document.
1. Leslie Dodson's TEDxBoulder presentation on the misrepresentation of Africa in media and marketing, and being embedded with research projects vs. quick in-and-out reporting. Her observations on how Africa is misrepresented by media and by nonprofits such as USAID are also very relevant to socially conscious businesses' narratives. Listen up, y'all (myself included):
2. As for the Colors Magazine inspiration, I just love these Kenya bike taxis and the story of a few who run the "boda-bodas," as photographed/covered for the Transport issue:
