Raised in Karachi, Pakistan, fahad punjwani is a strategist, designer, poet, and uncle who now calls Houston home. Their work is rooted in creativity, beauty, and empathy. He is the founder of Suchee Studios, a collective that helps mission-driven leaders and organizations use design thinking to foster capacity for connection in order to tackle the “Big, Gnarly Problems” we face as a species.
fahad joins us under the dome to discuss what it means to apprentice oneself to the unknown; to apprentice oneself to younger generations and embrace what’s possible for the world from their unique vantage point; parenting with self-awareness and learning from children’s perspectives and wisdom; to embrace transitions and change; the nature of power dynamics and leadership in our country during times of social upheaval and protest; and the important of slowing down, self-regulating, and pausing in the face of collective stress and anxiety.
With insight and empathy, fahad helps us understand that transition is not a feature of life, but life itself — that rest is resistance — and that the wisdom we seek is within us already.
"Earthseed" by Octavia Butler Here we are -- Energy, Mass, Life, Shaping life, Mind, Shaping Mind God, Shaping God. Consider -- We are born Not with purpose, But with potential. All that you touch You Change. All that you Change Changes you. The only lasting truth Is Change. God Is Change.
