Music by Joolz Barker Moon Unit Zappa is an American actress, artist, singer, tea merchant, and author. She is the daughter of musician Frank Zappa. Moon first entered the professional global spotlight in 1982 at age fourteen with the surprise hit song ‘Valley Girl’, a satirical look at teenage female culture and musical collaboration with her late father, American composer Frank Zappa. After her showbiz comeuppance winning such *coveted* roles as “American girl” in ‘National Lampoon’s European Vacation’, “hitchhiking val” on the TV show ‘ChiPs’, and "woman in a burka" on Curb your Enthusiasm, Moon switched gears and found her true calling - storytelling. Leap-frogging from music to journalism to humorous essays, alternative comedy, podcasting, scriptwriting, and a comedic debut novel, America the Beautiful. Her second book, Earth To Moon – A Memoir, is available as a pre-order now. Earth to Moon is a reckoning with self-esteem, the ghosts of the past and a mother and a father who, in the process of leaving their mark upon on the world, scarred their first daughter on home soil. Brutally self-deprecating and funny as hell, it belies a rose-tinted perspective on the 70s and 80s west coast American scene, from within the belly of the beast of the rock and roll world.…

She went on to co‐found Learning for Life, a UK-based charity that supported the establishment of over 250 village schools for girls in rural Pakistan, Afghanistan and India. For this, she was awarded the 2010 Pakistan Achievement Award. In the 1990s, she launched and managed an innovative, social impact cashmere brand, Sophia Swire London, that is widely credited with starting the global fashion trend for pashmina shawls. In 2008, she started Afghanistan’s first Jewelry and Gem-cutting school for the charity, Turquoise Mountain, and has since worked with various Afghanistan-based government and non-government organizations to reform the gemstone mining sector and put more value into the hands of Afghan miners and artisans. In 2012, she founded the non-profit Future Brilliance to foster stability and prosperity through enterprise and workforce development in post conflict countries. Its first project helped Afghan women artisans gain access to the gemstone and jewelry value chain. Aayenda Jewelry, a Future Brilliance project, was established as a Social Enterprise in the US to build a sales and marketing platform for Afghan jewelry (Aayenda means "future" in the Afghan language, Dari). In 2013, the first jewelry collection was launched as a collaboration between 36 Afghan artisans trained by Future Brilliance and 3 award-winning international designers. Since then, the line has been sold successfully at stores and online in Asia, EU, Canada, USA, and Mexico, and in 2016 was featured on the front cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine globally, modelled by Brazilian supermodel, Alessandra Ambrosio. In 2015, graduates of Future Brilliance training programs registered the Aayenda Jewelry Co-operative. Royalty payments from sales of Aayenda, have funded the completion of a bead-making workshop in Northern Afghanistan, in which a further 80 Afghan women have been trained, and tools and equipment for Afghan artisans and designers. Since the recent take-over by the Taliban, Future Brilliance focus has been to help get their staff and many other women and girls with their families out of the country to create a new life elsewhere. In 2021, Sophia launched GEDI, her women’s global investment fund, at COP 26 where she spoke on how investing in women’s businesses will help alter climate change and create good business practice. Sophia is in demand as a expert and speaker on Social Impact Investment and Social Entrepreneurship.

In this episode of Frankly Speaking with Lynne Franks and Friends , Lynne is joined by craftivist Carrie Reichardt. They discuss the power of art to heal and work collectively within our communities to envisage a better future. Carrie is known for using craft and art as protest. She has endeavoured to give voices to overlooked communities by creating works of art that truly engage. Art has been her own therapeutic salvation, and so she has committed herself to doing community mosaics at places such as schools, hospitals and communities across the UK. Carrie Reichardt is an outspoken, politically charged and ceramic slinging artist. Leaving a trail of poetry and prose in her wake, Reichardt employs the techniques of a muralist, but the tools of a mosaic artist, screen printing her own tiles to use rather than paint. Reichardt has been involved in community and public art projects for two decades, designing and consulting on large-scale mosaic murals in various local communities. She has produced mosaic murals in Miravalle, one of the most deprived districts on the fringes of Mexico City as well as projects in Argentina and Chile. In 2018, Reichardt finally completed the transformation of her west London home into a giant mosaic mural – a process that took twenty years and tens of thousands of tiles to complete.
