Women across the globe wear many hats. They are the primary caretakers, main providers of unpaid labor, and income-generators in their families and communities. Women artisans, in particular, face additional barriers in the traditional supply chain model that leave them unable to provide a quality of life for their families and with little inspiration to continue their craft traditions. In this talk, Fabiola breaks down the need for empowering other women, especially women artisans and female entrepreneurs to sustain their craft knowledge and skills. She shares her experience partnering with women artisans and female entrepreneurs in Oaxaca, Mexico through her social enterprise tlali•pani, co-founded with her husband. They work directly with these women and their families, to sustain their craft through an equitable model that encourages fair compensation and provides premium quality, handcrafted home goods to customers.

OUR ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY
NAVIGATING THROUGH COVID-19

The world is grappling with an issue of enormous scale and human impact, and our hearts go out to all who have been affected by the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19).

At TEDxSantaBarbara, we believe it is our role and responsibility to prioritize two things: the health and the well-being of our community while also playing a constructive role in supporting local health officials and government leaders as they work to contain the virus. Through that lens, we will continue to make decisions with vigilance and courage informed by the latest science-based information.

As of now, we are postponing our main event in the Fall, to the first weekend in November 2021.
