  <description>Greetings Glocal Citizens! I am sincerely grateful to my community of Glocal Citizens, especially as former guests have been delivering on sharing life experiences with me and the podcast in their communities. My guest this week is someone I met last December in Ghana while catching up with Nydia Swaby (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/nydia-swaby) in Accra and I’m happy to share her story. Washington, D.C native, Tara Aura Purnell is a meditation guide, ritual artist, certified yoga teacher, and wellness-prenuer empowering people to feel better more of the time.  She curates wellness events for marginalized communities as Co-Founder of Blind Seed (http://blindseed.com/), which nurtures growth for city-dwellers with an interest in clean living and self-expansion. As an adolescent equity and inclusion activist, after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, she went on to become a writer, creative producer and brand marketing strategist before shifting her focus to health and healing arts.  Her current work as a wellness organizer, pleasure activist and food justice advocate centers inclusive, holistic approaches to collective care and wellbeing.
