## Resource

What makes a workplace meaningful? Is it the salary? The office setup? The title on the door? Or is it something quieter? Something human? In this episode of Troublemakers: Smoke Signals, we step into the everyday spaces where we spend so much of our lives. From the vibrant grounds of MS TCDC, home to the Samora Machel Studio where The Troublemakers is produced, to offices, clinics and creative corners beyond Arusha. We asked a simple question: What do you love most about your workplace? The answers surprised us in their consistency. Broader Reflections At a time when burnout is normalised and productivity is worshipped, reclaiming joy and solidarity in our workplaces becomes radical. The workplace is not separate from the struggle for dignity, justice, and collective wellbeing. It is one of the spaces where we practice it.
