In this powerful episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam welcomes renowned activist and lawyer Etelle Higonnet to discuss the hidden costs of coffee and the urgent need for sustainability and human rights in the coffee industry.
Etelle shares her multicultural upbringing, transformative experiences in Guatemala, and the journey that led her to fight against deforestation, child labor, and modern slavery across multiple industries.
The conversation dives deep into the realities behind our daily coffee habits, unpacks the truth about misleading certifications, and offers practical advice for listeners who want to make ethical choices as coffee consumers. Tune in for an eye-opening look at environmental justice, actionable ways to create change, and inspiring personal stories—all underscored by the undeniable link between coffee, human rights, and saving our planet.
