Etelle Higonnet — What’s Hiding in Your Coffee Cup?
Thu Oct 09 2025
What if I told you there was a good chance you were Drinking Slavery in your morning coffee?
In this courageous conversation on the Juste Podcast, I’m joined by Etelle Higonnet, a fearless human rights lawyer, environmental activist, and founder of Coffee Watch. From the cocoa fields of West Africa to war zones in Iraq and Sierra Leone, Etelle has spent her life holding the world’s most powerful industries to account—and building practical paths toward justice.
We explore the often-hidden connections between consumer goods and global injustice, the role of media and greenwashing, and how ordinary people can make simple, impactful choices that ripple out across the planet.
This one’s not about guilt—it’s about power, hope, and what’s possible when we wake up and start asking the right questions.
