Mind Matters With Rex Urwin And Catherine Connolly Podcast

This episode of the Mind Matters Podcast is something a little different. We’re looking at the courage it takes to realise and follow your purpose in life. Rex is chatting to Emmanuela Shinta, a 26-year-old Dayak woman from Kalimantan, Borneo, about her role in this world and the power of taking action, even when you don’t know what you’re doing.  Emmanuela is an activist, film producer and director, founder of the Ranu Welum Foundation and a leader for young people.  She’s gained notice over the years, speaking before the United Nations and a number of other international platforms about the deforestation of the Bornean rainforest and the overall destruction of her beloved country and her Dayak culture. She has trained more than 100 young indigenous people to use a camera to share their cause, and continues to raise awareness of the Dayak people and Kalimantan through the use of short videos and documentaries.  Episode highlights:  Who Emmanuela Shinta is and what her vision is - being born in Kalimant
