S14. E1: Jamie Logan and Justina Adorno: Green Goddesses Take New York
“We had to start asking how are we sustainable with the activism in the long run? I think that using humor, using confrontation will get people to look at the things that they normally wouldn’t.”
Whether they are dressed as fish on the streets of New York, speaking to college students or creating award winning media, Jamie Logan and Justina Adorno are finding new ways to spark conversations about animals.
Jamie is an animal rights activist, filmmaker, podcaster and Yogi, whose work spans everything from open rescues to street outreach and media campaigns that have reached millions, all in service of getting people to see animals differently. Justina is an actress, storyteller, podcaster, and animal advocate known for bringing creativity, humor, and heart to conversations about compassion and justice.
Together, they have created Green Goddesses Take New York, an award winning show that follows their adventures through New York City as they tackle animal issues in ways that are unexpected, very funny, and impossible to ignore. The show recently won seven Telly awards.
In this conversation, we talk about activism, storytelling, humor, yoga, the art of changing someone's mind without putting them on the defensive, and why they both believe that building a more compassionate world requires you to show up fully with your whole, joyful, ridiculous self.
Please listen and share.
In gratitude,
Elizabeth Novogratz
