This is What Happens When You Discover Why Sustainability is Important

This is what happens when you discover why sustainability is importantHow do you start your morning? Before work, the minute I’m done getting dressed, I need my coffee. I’m a major Starbucks® coffee fan and I like to drink Starbucks® Pike Place® Roast. Once I’ve got my coffee (to go in my reusable cup), I head to my job, at a university.
This is what happens when you discover the definition of sustainabilityOver the years, I’ve talked a little bit about my job, but not in very much detail. Given that Earth month just passed, I thought it was about time I told you a little about what I do. In my current job, I help translate our university’s sustainability goals to the general public through museum partnerships. What does that actually mean? Well, I get to travel to museums across the world, meet a lot of interesting people, and teach museum professionals how they can educate other people about sustainability.

So what is sustainability? Well, it’s more than just recycling or taking care of our planet. It’s also about promoting social justice, making sure our environment is protected and resilient, and ensuring economic prosperity. Creating true sustainability is a major challenge, but I get to help people think about this important topic to help make our world better.This is what happens when you discover why sustainability is importantHonestly, my job is so meaningful to me because it has literally changed my world view. I think a lot more about being a good steward of the planet and how to care for the people who live on it. I’ve gotten to travel to four continents in the last year and a half, meeting countless people from different and unique cultures. I’ve seen many sustainability challenges that are hard to envision from a U.S. context (my trip to South Africa was especially eye-opening). Being able to meet so many interesting people, experience so many new places and think about how we can ensure our planet is healthy for generations to come is very rewarding.

Before I started this job, I knew very little about sustainability. I cared about nature, but beyond recycling and using a reusable water bottle, I wasn’t very sustainable myself. There is always more that can be done, but I do pay a lot more attention to the products I buy and how I dispose of them. I also try to lessen my impact on the earth as much as I can.

That’s one reason I like to buy Starbucks® coffee; because their own vision for the planet aligns with mine. They believe they should (and do) have a positive impact on the communities they serve.This is What Happens When You Discover Why Sustainability is ImportantFor every bag of Starbucks® 10-12z & 20z Ground or Whole Bean coffee purchased at participating Albertsons Company stores in the U.S. from May 1st through May 28, Starbucks provides one disease-resistant coffee tree to a farmer in Mexico, Guatemala or El Salvador.

Starbucks® will donate 70¢ to Conservation International for every bag of coffee sold at participating Albertsons Company stores in the U.S. from May 1st through May 28 to foster thriving coffee communities. To learn more, visit conservation.org/onetree.

What is your biggest insecurity? . For all of you What is your biggest insecurity? 
.
For all of you who have commented on my confidence, it will surprise you to know I’ve actually been insecure about my figure most of my life. I grew up in the era when straight, thin bodies were idolized, and I didn’t see my curvy shape in media. 
.
Although it might seem crazy to say, I actually thank @kimkardashian for making hourglass figures like mine cool again. I constantly see women on TikTok paying thousands of dollars to get the curves I’ve tried to hide most of my life. Seeing more diversity in body types in media and advertising has definitely helped me to feel more secure in my shape. 
.
Over the last couple of years, I’ve shifted the way I style my body too. I used to wear a lot of a-line dresses and fuller cuts. Now, I always try to show off my shape. I’m still self-conscious a lot of the time, but I’m working on it and I’m learning to love my shape a little more everyday.

MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA w MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA we spent all day at the beach yesterday. Today, we are taking in local parks and another gorgeous day. But, my heart is heavy with the state of our world. 
.
Today, as we celebrate an important figure in the fight for Black equality, I’m choosing not to share one of his famous quotes because that’s too easy. Simply sharing his words without considering or sharing my perspective about the current state of our country feels disingenuous at best.
.
I’ve struggled with how to talk about the insurrection because I still find it all so shocking. And the fact that I am shocked is a problem. That our country can be so divided that it’s difficult for me to even fathom how people could participate in this divisiveness.
.
The insurrection happened on my birthday, as I flew to Puerto Vallarta. Landing in Mexico and learning about what was happening felt surreal. I still can’t wrap my head around it, honestly.  What scares me the most is the hate. The idolizing of a white supremacist ideology is terrifying. It terrifies me for my children. For their safety. For their lives.
.
I understand that a lot of hate is spurred by fear, lack of understanding and discomfort. Today, I hope we can all think about how to be more open to thoughts and perspectives that our different than our own. Be more accepting of people who look different, who have different cultures and life experiences. Today, I hope we can all collectively try to confront every human interaction from a place of love and kindness. If we all spent a little more time considering the other person’s life or story, I think we’d have a lot more peace and happiness. #mlk #mlkday #mlkweekend
