Episode #137 How Language Affects Creative Thinking and Brain Health with Avishta Seeras
In this inspiring episode, we dive into the world of cultural diplomacy and language advocacy with Avishta Seeras, a dynamic multilingual strategist working at the intersection of social impact, global engagement, and digital communication. With roots and professional experience spanning four countries, Avishta brings a rich global perspective to her work in promoting cultural diversity, multilingual education, and language rights.
As Co-Chair of the Global Coalition for Language Rights and Board Member at Cultura Connector, Avishta leads visionary initiatives that bridge underrepresented communities with global conversations. Her founding of the Lingua-Cultura Experience and co-founding of the African Languages Conference underscore her commitment to honoring cultural heritage and preserving linguistic diversity. Collaborating with global institutions like UNESCO, her projects elevate voices often left unheard.
We explore why protecting languages and cultures is vital in a rapidly globalizing and tech-driven world. Avishta shares how intercultural competence, creativity, and inclusive dialogue are key tools for today’s social impact professionals. She reminds us that language is more than a means of communication—it is identity, history, and belonging.
Tune in for a powerful conversation that will spark your imagination and encourage you to reflect on how the arts, humanities, and community-driven advocacy can shape a more inclusive, connected future. Whether you're an educator, innovator, or cultural leader, this episode is a heartfelt reminder of the beauty and necessity of honoring every voice.
