“The idea is to be able to build what you need when you need it. Again, we already know the answers—it’s just restructuring and creating new systems based off sustainable living versus extraction and exploitation.”

Wanona Satcher, CEO + Founder of Mākhers Studio

In this episode

Join Wanona Satcher, CEO + Founder of SheEO Venture Mākhers Studio, LLC, and Vicki Saunders, founder of SheEO, as they discuss Wanona’s Venture—a for-profit green manufacturing firm and design-build studio. As a social enterprise, Wanona’s team is dedicated to developing what she calls “prosilient communities.” Over the course of her career she’s served as an urban designer with a focus on equitable housing policy, landscape architect designer, city planner, economic developer, art curator and theater producer.

They also discuss:

• The affordable housing crisis that disproportionately impacts communities of colour
• Mākhers Studio’s role as a scalable solution for this crisis
• Gentrification as explained by Wanona in terms of capital, land, and construction
• Using shipping containers to build in + look at space differently
• Micro-manufacturing spaces in urban and rural communities
• Building sustainability and accessibility into her company’s operating procedures
• Support from SheEO Activators that will help Mākhers studio shift to a B2B model and scale to other countries

We invite you to join us as an Activator at SheEO.World.
