Trigger warning: mentions of suicide at 25 mins.
This warm chat between Ruth Rogers and Karen Stenning, a social impact events organiser who works in sustainable and ethical fields such as female investment, social enterprise and the environment.
What links these two business women is The Canvas, a cafe and community space run by Ruth Rogers between 2014-2022. Karen's events business, Absolute Alchemy, developed at The Canvas and memories of her first event, The Summer of Change, are among many memories shared between the two friends.
