Wanona Satcher describes herself as a child who was thoughtful, "geeky," and one who never followed status quo. The Atlanta native thought dolls were ridiculous, eschewing them and using them as speed bumps within the neighborhoods she built while playing on her family's living room floor for hours -- fascinated by how things are built and designed. Today as founder of Rejuve, a charitable 501c organization focused on design and social good, Wanona advocates for designing meaningful spaces for communities, women, families, children and small businesses in innovative ways -- and is still committed to rejecting the status quo.
On this episode, Wanona discusses the power of architecture and design and its influence on our surroundings, the importance of designing spaces for "purposeful serendipity," how to build prosilient communities and how she's reaching out for funding support!
