Konda Mason

Overview

A serial eclectic, Konda Mason’s career path has been anything but a straight path. She has honed her business leadership skills as a Grammy winning artist manager in London, an Academy Award nominated film producer in Hollywood, and an Off Broadway hit theater producer in New York…just to name a few. Turning her attention to sustainable personal and global living solutions, Konda partnered with actor Woody Harrelson and founded Yoganics, an organic food business in Los Angeles, where she successfully brought to market the first organic produce section in a major grocery store in the LA area. Combining her love of filmmaking with her passion to change the course on climate change, Konda lead a media team within a coalition of NGOs to successfully stop a coal-fired power plant from being constructed in Borneo, Malaysia. Additionally, Konda leads ecotourism trips to the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador as a way of submerging people from the global north into the realities of indigenous culture and to see first hand the life threatening menace that our current way of living imposes on this vital ecosystem. She is a facilitator trainer for The Pachamama Alliance, a certified yoga instructor, and a partner in Earthseed Consulting, LLC, where she is producing/directing a web series called “Green Street Loft”, a program aimed at deepening the connection of the African American community with land, place and the sustainability movement. She was a co-host for the Shift Network’s 2012 Season of Sustainability and is a Certified Permaculture Designer. Most recently Konda Mason is the Founder and CEO of Hub Oakland LLC. Konda’s leadership style leverages her innate wisdom with tools of permaculture, sustainable business practices, yoga, storytelling, Buddhist theory, and Integral theory. A human equity advocate, prolific urban gardener, and social entrepreneur, Konda’s work is driven by the vision of realizing in her lifetime a genuinely just and sustainable world.
