Here's Hoping with Jayda G

By: Jayda G
  • Summary

  • Here’s Hoping, hosted by Grammy nominate music producer and DJ Jayda G is a podcast that explores the theme of hope, when we need it, how we find it and why we still have reasons to feel it. We explore guests’ personal journeys with hope, how they’ve formed and navigated the three pillars of having hope - goals, agency and pathway. An environmental toxicologist scientist as well, Jayda recently released her first documentary Blue Carbon on CNN and identified the need to dive further into the theme of hope, with this podcast coming at a time when it is needed most. In the series, Jayda will be speaking to a range of amazing guests, from sustainable fashion pioneers, Ocean conservation scientists, community-focused Grime artists, to people living on the frontlines of climate change, her own family and more.

  • Environmental Teenage Defenders & Indigenous Stewarding of Nature with Xiye Bastida
    Nov 6 2024

    We meet the truly impressive young coinage activist Xiye who shares with Jayda how living on the frontlines of climate change in her native Mexico led to her becoming a climate activist, how this was always a part of her parents and her Indigenous activists parent’s life, but how moving to New York after her home was flooded and getting involved with Fridays for Future and connecting to Greta Thurnberg cemented her destiny. Xiye talks about her indigenous identity and the values that are a core part of her and how that drives her activism work and why she thinks the number one thing western activists can do is listen to the communities affected by climate issues. Xiye also explains why she and her family call themselves environmental defendants and what stewarding land and the amazon means and how it shows that indigenous people and the land like the Amazon are inseparable. She also talks about the absolute necessity of hope, and why hope cannot be an option, but has to be a priority for people on the frontlines of the climate crisis, and why started the re-earth initiative to embody her values.

  • Alcohol-Free Raving & When To Scale Careers Down with MINA
    Oct 30 2024

    MINA shares with Jayda how she came up through the Leeds music scene and was influenced by its DIY attitude that anyone could start anything, talking more about how she created her career and connected with people like her around the world, onto when and why she chose to go sober. MINA talks about what it’s been like as a sober DJ and music lover, why people react more weirdly when you say no to alcohol versus any other drug, misconceptions about alcohol and people who don’t drink and why the most fun people she knows don’t drink. Jayda asks MINA more about why she created an alcohol-free event, Club Soft, hearing the different reasons she started it, from creating a safe space for people in recovery, people of different religions, people who also just want to be able to rave and get up the next day without a hangover, and creating a generally safer space for women and minority genders. Jayda and MINA also get into when they actually choose not try to level up and expand one’s career, and sometimes why getting bigger isn’t always better. As well as the importance to always ask yourself the question if something is going to nourish you.

    *****Make sure you catch Club Soft this Saturday 2nd November to join the alcohol-free rave in London. Link below!*****
