150: How to Be Global, Navigate Privilege and Learn from Other Cultures with Sarah Rapp

The Maverick Show with Matt Bowles

Sarah Rapp talks about growing up in Germany in a homogenous, privileged, cultural bubble and shares her journey of becoming a world traveler, learning from other cultures, and giving back. She explains why Mexico and Albania are her two favorite countries, and how joining JA Worldwide changed her life and set her on the path to becoming a global citizen. She shares her experience living in Malta, and her transformative trip to Ghana. Sarah opens up about how her social and political consciousness developed, and why she is so passionate about human rights around the world. She talks about launching the “How to Be Global’ podcast, and reflects on what she has learned from her guests over the first 100 episodes. Sarah then talks about her involvement with the UN Foundation’s “Equal Everywhere Campaign” and her role as head of PR at “Nomad’s Giving Back”. She then reflects on navigating the dynamics around her own privilege when doing global advocacy, and the importance of listening and learning from other cultures. She also reflects on the transformative impact of travel on her own life, and what travel means to her today. FULL SHOW NOTES AVAILABLE AT: www.TheMaverickShow.com
