Their Story Their Voice

In this episode of 'Their Story, Their Voice,’I spoke to writer Elsie Gilmore about her upcoming book, 'How to Find Joy in a Capitalist Hellscape.' Elsie shares her background growing up on a dairy farm in Vermont, her disillusionment with capitalism that began in her 20s, and her entrepreneurial journey. We discuss the negative impacts of capitalism on society, labor, and the environment, as well as healthcare disparities in the U.S. and U.K. Elsie also touches on the importance of activism and finding joy amidst societal challenges.
