For all the women entering their third act in life, I have a message for you. Life does not have to be drab or monotonous. In fact it can be fabulously amazing. Meet Suzette who is taking the world by storm on her own terms. She even found love in this season. Goes to show, that can be you.  Let's talk about it.   ******************************** Suzette Vearnon is redefining her 60s on her own terms. Throwing away the handbook on ageism, retirement and what is "acceptable" in her 3rd act of life, this defier of boxes is writing her own script, choosing to go where joy leads her and trusting that her next will blow her mind. Coach Suzette, as she has lovingly been called for decades, has traded the demands of hustle and grind entrepreneurship - chasing success as the business owner of both a life and relationship solutions coaching business and an administrative/bookkeeping business - to bringing her passion for shared joy to the digital space as the self titled Chief Instigator of Captured Special Moments with some life and relationship lessons in between. If you asked Suzette what's next, she'd tell you she doesn't know. What she does know, joy is the path to it.   Connect with Suzette on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/suzette.hinton    FROM STUCK TO UNSTOPPABLE REPLAY https://bit.ly/stureplay   Join the online Personal Brand Course Cohort 2: https://forms.gle/zyQT8HasBcbaK6Fb9    Be the first to get the scoop on all things Africana Woman Festival including early bird tickets and giveaways. Join our wait list: https://forms.gle/fr5ibT6fSLTmoRs57   Join #LUNCHANDLEARN Series: We are bringing you in person Networking the Africana Woman way across Zambia.

Introducing Mwangala Lethbridge, an Entrepreneur, Architect, Family Woman, Politician in the making and Trauma Survivor. A Christian by faith and raised Catholic, her belief system rests on four pillars as the cornerstones that guide her purpose in life: taking ownership, reliability, commitment and resilience. She hopes to inspire change in the lives of those she is blessed to encounter. Mwangala resides both in the United Kingdom with her husband Adam and their three children and in Zambia with her son and lovely grandchildren. Still Standing is her first book. Still Standing: The Flip Side of Denial, Depression and Forgiveness, is a story that starts with tragedy and ends with acceptance and realisation of the importance to highlight mental health. This is a story of incredible resilience, which will inspire you to challenge yourself. Mwangala says: "My book is another stage of my catharsis, the process of facing down adversity and challenge. A very personal account of life-changing injuries leading to life-affirming action. An admission of overwhelming vulnerability and a celebration of family and friendship." Mwangala's story is not one of a kind, but her vulnerability in sharing what she has learnt makes this a book we can all relate to. If you want to increase your resilience, adopt a growth mindset, or just be inspired by the miracles humans can achieve when we challenge ourselves against the odds, this book is for you. There are many lessons shared in Still Standing, but if you learn just one, let that be that there is always another chapter of your life and an unknown strength to survive when the battle is both physical and mental. Depression creeps in at any age and it is important to accept that in order to heal. This memoir encourages the reader to tackle one day at a time and celebrate the smallest achievements as if they were the largest milestones   Still Standing can be found at: Direct Author sales   Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Still-Standing-Denial-Depression-Forgiveness-ebook/dp/B09VH4M9GB   Author website - https://mwangalalethbridge.co.uk/   Connect with Mwangala here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mwangala-lethbridge-402b5020/   The Africana Woman Network is the first African Female led podcast network.

Introducing Boitumelo Motsoeneng, a writer, a child of God, and storyteller, she believes in the transformative power of art and the enduring strength of integrity, service, and competence. Boitumelo strives to create stories that touch hearts inspire creativity and make a difference in the world. This is a story of tragedy and catastrophe. Rape, betrayal, homelessness, identity crisis, and fear. With each page, things seem to get worse and the glow of hope fades, but in the end, it all makes sense. The beauty of going through it all with God is that none of it is wasted, every ounce of it gives glory to God and shapes you to be like Christ. And that's what you will get to appreciate, the perfection of God when He works things out for good. This is not to say that one heals completely from things that God uses to mature and transform us. The physical trauma after rape, the psychological consequences, the difficulties in building and maintaining relationships, and the negative relationship with one's body remain part of the struggle for the longest time. Some things heal with time, but some stay for God knows how long. The ones that don't heal become a thorn in your flesh that God uses to keep you low and human, even as He makes your life better. And in this book, the author lays out where she used to be, how much she has healed, and what she still struggles with.   Raped but Saved can be found at: Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/RAPED-BUT-SAVED-Boitumelo-Motsoeneng-ebook/dp/B0BZFG774X/ref=sr_1_1  Whatsapp: +27 74 060 6587   Connect with Boitumelo at: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/boitumelo_mabunda_/  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100006034365336    The Africana Woman Network is is the first African Female led podcast network.

Can we talk about the elephant in the room and the whole array of other animals with it? African governments are struggling in the area of Education. Whether there is even a will to provide quality is debatable. 60 years down the line most countries are till grappling with education models they inherited with barely any improvement, reformation or complete overhaul towards creating a relevance and representation. Mwansa Mukalula-Kalumbi and Faith Abiodun discuss the role government plays in Education granted it is the main education provider for the majority of the population. What more can be done by government? Let's talk about it. *** The world has advanced so quickly. However, education in Africa is not keeping up at the same pace. Be it the curriculum content, teaching methods or stakeholders commitment, there is an urgency to adapt to the times. Furthermore, conversations around Education have only focused on the traditional models. Until now. The Educated Africana, hosted by Tebogo Kangote III brings together diverse voices to have in depth discussions about Education in Africa.

What does inclusive education really look like? Earlier in the season we learned that Free Education does not include children with special needs, and yet they need it the most. We have learned that girls skip school because of their periods, and yet condoms are given out for free whilst sanitary towels have a price tag. Every child has the right to education, and yet many are left behind. Andrea Mwalula talks at length with Tebogo on the possibilities of an inclusive education system on the African continent. Let's talk about it. *** The world has advanced so quickly. However, education in Africa is not keeping up at the same pace. Be it the curriculum content, teaching methods or stakeholders commitment, there is an urgency to adapt to the times. Furthermore, conversations around Education have only focused on the traditional models. Until now. The Educated Africana, hosted by Tebogo Kangote III brings together diverse voices to have in depth discussions about Education in Africa.

People choose to study in international schools for varying reasons. Whilst travel and discovering global cultures is beneficial, there is also a dark side. From racism, depression, susceptibility to addictions, brain drain, lifelong debt are real problems we face as Africans. Petra Chinyere, Mo! Sibyl and Helen Leale-Green talk about this quagmire. So many of us covet this for our children, therefore, what we really should be doing is figuring out how to make this a profitable return on investment.

How do you define success? What do you want for your children? Do you believe that there is a strict hierarchy of trades and corporate jobs? We here this over and over again of how back in the day our parents wanted us to have the top three jobs; lawyer, doctor, or engineer. But we all soon learned not everyone can be in those professions. We need people across the board. So why is there such a stigma against blue collar jobs? Zenith Malawo and Gift Mbewe have an exciting discussion about the pros and cons of both trades vs. corporate career paths. They also discuss the prevailing perceptions.  Let's talk about it. *** The world has advanced so quickly. However, education in Africa is not keeping up at the same pace.

A lot of parents expect teachers to perform miracles with their child. To a large extent teachers do have a great impact in moulding young minds, but at what cost? Sekai Chitaukire and Ancietos Mwansa talk about Teacher Burnout from the pressures of being a teacher, the response of administration and parents to their requests and self advocacy for better working conditions. Teachers are humans too.  Let's talk about it. *** The world has advanced so quickly. However, education in Africa is not keeping up at the same pace.

Makheni Zonneveld and Tokozile N. Ngwenya are passionate about children's nutrition. Food affects the quality of one's day from your energy levels to your ability to concentrate, or get adequate rest. We have to question, is what we feed our children harming them or benefiting them.  We live in communities where fast food has been made a status symbol of success. Where stores sell us conveniently packaged foods for the busy parent. Where schools rarely offer guidance on what foods would be appropriate or nutritious. And more often than not as parents we are doing what we can with the knowledge that we have which may not be much. How can we do better? Let's talk about it. *** The world has advanced so quickly.

Namutula Sindila, Wendy Musonda and Agness Tambulukani are formidable warriors in the fight against period poverty.  Period poverty is a lack of access to menstrual products, education, hygiene facilities, waste management, or a combination of these. It affects an estimated 500 million people worldwide and has a direct effect on how many women do not have access to education for an accumulative 3 months out of the year due to their period.  Think about it a girl misses 3 months of school every year and yet is expected to perform at the same level as a boy.  We have to talk about how to eradicate period poverty. *** The world has advanced so quickly.

Fiske Nyirongo and Kamapala Chukwuka began to create children's books with African characters and relatable story lines out of necessity. Do you remember going to school and the first thing they told you was E for Eskimo, I for igloo, F for fox .... confused because you have never ever seen those things before. Then the literature goes on to highlight caucasian children going to the beach and making sand castles .... can you blame a child for not being engaged or interested in school. It has nothing to do with them from day 1.  On the flip side most parents aspire to send our children to international schools and then those schools do not teach our children any indigenous knowledge or the very country we live in. So we have children who do not speak local languages and have no pride in their own heritage.  We need to talk about this. Representation Matters *** The world has advanced so quickly.

Catherine Besa, Chisha Luembe and Sandra Lumamba discuss how student mental health is dealt with in different settings including in primary schools through to university. Deteriorating student mental health is not unique to Africa. It is a global crisis. Schools are scrambling to adapt and handle the growing mental health needs of their learners including dealing with suicide watch frequently. However, It is common for the older generation to be dismissive by saying "In our times we were mentally stronger, but children of these days are weak."  Is this true? What has changed?

Trigger Alert! This episode references Rape and Suicide. "How is rape such a big deal with women, when it also happens with men but they do not make a big deal out of it?" This was a question asked at a speaking engagement by a man. The reason why I have chosen to address it on the podcast is because this question clearly shows the state of our society. And our role is to educate not just women but men too otherwise things will never change. Also I want us all to use the correct language. Please refer to people who have experienced rape as Survivors and not victims.  Let's talk about it.

We are all creative in whatever field we excel in. That means there is an art to Business. From the ebbs and flows of hiring and managing employees, to setting up systems and generating consistent revenue. All this does not happen by accident. There are some who are talented at seeing opportunities where others don't, having a vision for what could be that does not exist already and who are able to bring the right pieces together to make it a reality. Natasha Chiumya takes us through her creative process of being an entrepreneur.  ******************************************* Natasha is a serial entrepreneur who has started and failed at many businesses. Fortunately, she has succeeded at three core businesses centred around property and real estate. She's the founder and managing partner of Folotiya & Chiumya, one of the leading real estate law firms in Zambia. She is also the founder and CEO of Diaspora Connect, an online real estate agency that helps Zambians living abroad buy property back home in a safe and reliable way. And she's a property developer, using her knowledge of the market to build and sell affordable apartments. Natasha holds a law degree from Warwick University in the UK and an MBA from the Graduate School of Business of UCT in South Africa. She's a former Beit fellow and an award winning lawyer.

The most important story you tell is the one you tell to yourself. That informs the world how they should interact with you. Do you know your story? Are you a victim or a survivor? Which role do you play in your story: a spectator or the shero? The best part of all this, is that you get to decide who you want to be.  Thembe takes us on a journey of understanding the power of storytelling and how you can effectively use it in different spaces. ***************************************** An award-winning storyteller, Thembe is one of the continent's leading voices when it comes to branding, communication and personal development. Having started her media career as a TV presenter more than 20 years ago, she is well versed with many aspects of media and communication. Her career highlights include interviewing Graca Machel for the Zimbabwe International Film Festival and hosting the Miss Zimbabwe pageant with a live audience of more than 3000 people. A prolific writer and compelling speaker, Thembe uses these gifts to help Africans see themselves more clearly in order to elevate their personal narratives.

Whose responsibility is it to EXALT Africa? Who knows its beauty and hidden gems more than us? Who has been witness to the magnificence of an African sunset? And bitten the sweet juicy fruit in season with fervour. We are blessed.  And it's a privilege for someone to come to Africa to experience our way of life. The way of Ubuntu.  Sadly not enough Africans see that we have an el dorado. Instead we choose to MAGNIFY our weaknesses. Do you know a child embodies poverty of the mind only when you tell them they are poor? What if you told them they are RICH instead and it is their sacred duty to preserve our resources, nature, wildlife, and water bodies. Gift them the Belief of being descendents and children of the mighty land Africa.  Mwai Yeboah talks about how she Exalts Africa through all the work that she does.  ************************************************************ Mwai Yeboah is an acclaimed Zambian-born creative director, author, event producer, and powerhouse entrepreneur whose life work centers around advocating for her home continent of Africa. She is the editor-in-chief at Fifty Four Magazine—a first-of-its-kind quarterly magazine aimed at preserving and showcasing Africa's culture and lifestyle—and the founder of Exalt Africa, an umbrella brand that houses her prolific portfolio of travel, consulting, and event-production services and products—all of which exist to share Africa's untold luxury and local-born talent with the world.

Investing in yourself can take different forms. We are mostly familiar with the career path model of personal development. However, I have seen so many people acquire technical skills yet do not advance in their careers or start the business. I believe it's because we need to look at personal development from a wholistic view. The mind, the heart and soul are all connected. Therefore, if there is Dis Ease in one of them, it affects all of them. Whether conscious or unconsciously.  ************************************************************ Mwaanga Kayuma is a global health professional with over 9 years experience in implementation and management of programmes.

What is the mountain in your life that you have to conquer? Often what we don't talk about is the mental, spiritual and emotional preparation for such journeys. We focus on the technical preparation and the physicality of it, however, thats just the tip of the ice berg.  Today I talk to Mountaineer Charlene Milner, who is on a mission to take on the seven summit challenge.

 A lot of people associate feminine energy with weakness. Therefore try to distance themselves from femininity. You may feel like being soft will not get what you want or being soft makes you an easy target to be mistreated or physically abused. So we take on more male characteristics and discard the feminine because we feel it does not serve us. This conversation between Salome and Chulu digs deeper into feminine energy and how it can be of benefit to women in particular.   ******************************************************** Salome is a social entrepreneur, speaker and passionate advocate for women's empowerment who is committed to inspiring women to become change agents and leaders in their communities.

As we kick off Women's Month we are talking about Single Mums. I am a single mum. my mother was a single mum. I know so many people around me who found themselves being single mums most often unintentionally.  A few years ago it was frowned upon and spoken about in hushed voices. Today there are women who choose to be single mums. However, it came about I think we still do not talk about it enough.  Today I explore the topic with Ngombo and touch a little on post partum depression.  Let us know your thoughts and feedback Share this with a friend. ****** Hi my name is Ngombo aka The Afro Doula. I am a Zambian born woman, a Mother, a daughter, a sister & a wife. I love wild swimming, adventure, sisterhood, preparing and eating delicious food, margarita cocktails, creativity, raving in the house & feeling alive! I am a multifaceted, iridescent being with many layers & many gifts to share! I was called to become a Doula back in 2019 as I was healing from 2 long years of postpartum depression. I knew then that in order for me to thrive the most important thing was to keep a remembrance activated within myself around how incredibly important, powerful and sacred the carrying, birthing, nourishing and nurturing of new life truly is. I also knew then, that the darkness I'd been through could be alchemised into something magical & so I made it my business to help reignite this flame of remembrance in other Mums who were finding Motherhood difficult.

The Africana Woman Book Club members in Lusaka, Zambia had the first in person meet up. And it was EPIC. Hands down Africana Woman events are the best. There was food for days, the most gorgeous picnic set up, networking, human library and of course dancing. What's a party without dancing. But most importantly there was peace and joy.  Shout out to the host Amanda and every single person that came out. You have set the standard pretty high. I am looking forward to the next AW Book Club meet. I wonder which city it will be in next.    Emotional mindfulness Session Tuesday 22 November, 2022. 19hrs (7pm) Central African Time.

In 2022 there is still a lot that we do not know about Cancer in the African communities. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Chulu sat down with Udie and Felicity, from the Zambian Cancer Society to discuss the Cancer of Misinformation. Udie Soko is a survivor of both cancer of the lymph nodes and breast cancer. In 2009, she founded the Zambian Cancer Society to counter the silence, shame, stigma and isolation that often surrounds the disease by providing information and support to patients and their caregivers irrespective of age, gender or type of cancer. Udie holds a BA degree in Public Administration from the University of Zambia and a Chartered Secretary qualification. She is also a certified breast health educator and a health and fitness lifestyle advisor. She recently co-authored a book titled - Passionately Striving in "Why": An Anthology of Women Who Persevere Mightily to Live Their Purpose.   Mutombo Felicity Chambula Mwila, aged 46, married and a mother of 3. Two girls and one boy. Diagnosed with Stage 2 Left breast cancer in March 2021, had a mastectomy in April 2021 and underwent chemotherapy from May to October 2022. Currently on hormonal treatment. Having realized that there is a knowledge gap in the society that we live in, she has developed a passion for cancer advocacy in order to disseminate information regarding cancer, especially breast cancer.   Connect with Zambian Cancer Society here: Facebook - Dukutober Zambian Cancer Society   AWV Retreat - Marrakech 2023 https://bit.ly/3x45qAj   AWV Retreat - Bubezi River Lodge 2023 https://bit.ly/3C7BMMm   KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   LINKS: Message Africana Woman with Chulu on WhatsApp. https://wa.me/message/E3N7TH7RZSS4P1 +260978470395 Email: [email protected]  Website: https://www.africanawoman.com    Socials:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign/  https://www.instagram.com/africanawoman/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/AfricanaWoman_    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://africanawoman.gumroad.com/l/AWVNetwork   Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/blog

Patrice Washington is an award-winning author and podcaster, transformational speaker, hope-restoring coach, and media personality, committed to teaching a holistic approach to life while redefining the term "wealth" to its original meaning, "well-being."

Chulu sat down with Phoebe Mokgadi Ramaloko and Emily Oputa for a fireside chat about women who have ADHD. Most research focuses on men and male anatomy in general.

Health Psychology and is currently the resident Psychologist at Renaisense in Lusaka Zambia.

Changing African Narratives through Original Content Creation. In'utu J Mubanga is an African (Zambian) content creator on YOUTUBE and Bulela PODCAST. Both platforms are pushing her "1000 Awesome Zambians"/ "1000 Awesome Africans" project via interviews on her shows; "Shimika Conmigo!" & "Celebrating Our Music." In'utu says "I want to highlight positive stories out of Zambia and the African continent. So Shimika Conmigo! & "Celebrating Our Music" (on BULELA PODCAST/My YOUTUBE) are important tools in achieving that. Her goal is to get "1000 Zambians"/ "1000 Africans" doing awesome things big or small who are set on changing the narrative (that mostly non-Africans have) about Zambia or the continent.

Part two of my conversation with Mo!Sibyl is a story about how a family comes together and all the work it takes to keep it together. We talk about: - Growing together as a couple - Infertility - IVF - Fostering - Adoption Mo! Sibyl describes herself as a Nigerian-born, Korean-speaking, and wandering intellectual. Her unique perspective is derived from her experience growing up in Nigeria to now living in the US, learning and speaking Korean, and enriched by the adventures her travels have brought on. Her podcast show, launched in 2018, is called The More Sibyl Podcast and is available across several platforms for podcasts, including iTunes, Stitcher, PodBean, and has reached over 150,000 people in more than 90 countries. As a podcast host, her raison d'être is that there's a lot more that binds us than separates us. So, through her platform, she strives to showcase that same same but different thread that runs through us all by sharing stories that promote cultural curiosity among people towards creating a better world.

A space where healing, unlearning and growth is normal. But hey that was me, maybe you don’t need that. So let’s keep Africana Woman the best kept secret.

There is always someone we know who has amazing things happen to them all the time. Are they just super lucky? Or is something else at play. Today I talk to Monde Zama, the owner of Zasik Global, a grocery delivery service for Zambians in the Diaspora to support their families back home. We talk about: - Identifying opportunities - Being a problem solver - Networking - Collaboration Monde Zama has always been a hustler. When she was in secondary school she would purchase sweets and sell them to my peers. Monde studied Publishing and Media at University and took night classes at Hoxton Makeup academy to become a make up artist and would offer her services for hair and makeup at fashion shows (London fashion week.), Music Video's and personal clients. A few months in Monde started selling hair and accessories on www.harmzharmy.bigcartel.com. That was her entry into e-commerce. During the Covid 19 pandemic, she was tasked with helping to sell some of the farms produce to my Zambian friends all over the world. There were about 80 bags. They managed to sell them within a week. Monde could see that there was a lot of potential and thus she got to working on what is now Zasik Global.   Connect: Instagram: @Harmzlondon Instagram: @Zasik.Global Facebook: Zasik Global Website: www.ZasikGlobal.com   KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   LINKS: Message Africana Woman with Chulu on WhatsApp. https://wa.me/message/E3N7TH7RZSS4P1 +260978470395 Email: [email protected]    Website: https://www.africanawoman.com/    AWV Retreat 29-31 July, 2022 Retreat to Relax and Reconnect with Self https://forms.gle/DebJPuLaFPGmquLF7    REINVENTION course: Book your Discovery Call with Chulu   Vote for Africana Woman with Chulu Podcast on the APVA Awards: https://apva.africa/votings/ Categories -  Society & Culture Advocacy and Social Change Vote as many times as you want   100th Episode Live Recording: Guest RSVP: click here Sponsor Form: click here   Socials:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign/  https://www.instagram.com/africanawoman/    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://africanawoman.gumroad.com/l/AWVNetwork   Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/blog

Let it go on the record that this is my favourite episode on the Africana Woman podcast. They say parents do not have a favourite child, that's a lie. I explain why it is my favourite right at the end. Meryanne has so much to share including: - the story of her ancestry - being authentic to who you are - creating sustainable economic opportunities for African artisans - legacy & succession - what being the beneficiary of generational wealth did for her - entrepreneurship Former Parisian lawyer. Passionate about architecture and interiors. Self taught architect and interior designer. Own and design award winning hospitality concepts in Marrakech since 1989. Won the 2000 Harpers and Queens award of " Best Private estate to rent in the world".

Everything in this world has evolved except Education. Phones have changed over time. TVs have changed. Fashion has changed. Even makeup. Yet somehow Education is impervious to change, let alone improvement. It does seem a little suspect that 60 years after independence our children are still learning in the same way and learning the same content as during colonial times. Okay I exaggerate, instead men slotted themselves into the history books and that was about all that changed. Tebogo and I examine the difference between well funded schools and those that are less resourced. We cover: Differentiated teaching / learning Parents roles Reasons why education has not changed Private vs Govt schools Tebogo Kangote III wears a few hats however professionally she is an educator. She grew up in a small dusty township called GaRankuwa in Pretoria, South Africa. Tebogo grew up being made to believe she can do anything she wanted to do regardless of who says what. After completing high school in the mountains of Mmakau , her parents had no objection with her pursuing a Jazz and popular Music Diploma. Unfortunately, her father was retrenched and she couldn't complete the course. This is when her childhood fantasy of becoming a teacher was realised. Tebogo got a scholarship to study BEd at UNISA under the Thandulwazi Internship while interning at one of the best schools in South Africa St Stithians for the duration of her studies. Zambia was chosen for her by God or fate. Tebogo fell in love and got married to a Zambian man, which is why she currently resides in Lusaka, Zambia.

There is so much more that goes into packing your bags, leaving everything and everyone that you have known your whole life and starting a new life in a completely new country. The chief dreamer herself, Nancy Mulemwa Siisii, breaks down the nuances of being a Dreamer.  We cover: - Culture Shocks - Education abroad - Visas | Green Cards | Citizenship - Parenting as an immigrant - Dating  - Staying connected to your culture - Finding community Nancy Mulemwa Siisii was born and raised in Zambia, but later migrated to America and settled in New York where she's been living for 20 years. She has over 15 years of experience in the financial industry, working as a financial center manager.

Why Is divorce always worse for a woman? She will be judged, called names and considered a failure. Usually she either doesn't remarry or takes a long time to get back into a relationship. Where as everyone just assumes that the man will remarry and be okay. No one ever talks about this double standard. We need to get to a point where we accept that yes a woman can get divorced and it is okay. Asedi Manda is a God fearing 50+ year old woman with 4 children ,aged 32, 27, 25 and 23.

Immigration has so many faces. Most times when people make it out we who are left behind believe our loved one has made it to greener pastures. As we listen to Pennylope share her story of immigrating from Namibia to the UK we learn that more often than not our assumption of what happens over there is not always as it seems. But even worse our loved ones are not able to share their truth or reality because they feel the burden of having to support the people back home or may feel embarrassed to be labelled as a failure.

Happy International Women's Day. Well every day is women's day at Africana Woman. The theme for 2022 is Gender Equity today for a Sustainable tomorrow. When I think about Gender Equity I think about women being liberated in all spaces of their lives from the work place, public spaces, their homes to their bedrooms. Often the world likes to toot its horn about equity in politics education and health. But we forget that a woman's body has been caged in so many more areas. This conversation with Marsha-Ann Donaldson-Brown is so timely because we cover: Real connection with other human beings Fear Setting yourself Free L.E.A.D. Marsha Ann Donaldson Brown is a woman driven by fierce passion and pride inextricably linked to how she lives, all she commits to and the lives she inspires. Her infectious energy and enthusiasm, blended with her engaging attitude have made her a top pick for motivational speaking appearances – particularly for women and girls.   Her light burns brightest when she is encouraging and empowering women to live a life of purpose-filled passion. The growing community of heart-minded women who join her weekly Live Show "Real Talk with Marsha-Ann" on YouTube, know that there is no textbook for the nuggets shared, it is all real life experiences. The proud mother of two and woman of faith, is a true champion of her beloved Jamaican roots and heritage.   Quotes: "Human Beings that have a beating heart are designed by God to connect one with another" "Find the worth from within" 'Your story is not for yourself. It is to help someone else set themselves free" "My joy is not tied to anything but being grateful for life" "Fear is all about the evidence of things appearing real" "You do not have to be behind a cage to live in bondage. Your invisible cage is what you are living behind" "Business is a manifestation of avoidance of facing what you don't want to confront" "If you have to fake it, you're not gonna make it"   Connect Instagram - @marshaannb YouTube - Real Talk with Marsha-Ann Facebook Community - Women Activating Greatness and Purpose   KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose LINKS: Message Africana Woman with Chulu on WhatsApp. https://wa.me/message/E3N7TH7RZSS4P1 +260978470395   Website: https://www.africanawoman.com/    Socials:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign/  Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/africanawoman    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/africanawomanvisionaries    Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/blo

Dr. Joyce Nyairo has stated, "We need our life writing to fill in the gaps of every facet of our history—– political, economic, social, cultural and intellectual,". We work in the realm of life writing, where we use rigorous research, our imagination and feminist storytelling skills to create compelling narratives in a variety of mediums, from children's storytelling to musical theatre, podcasting to film and more.   Quotes: "Stories keep memories alive" "If you think its interesting, I promise you someone else find it interesting" "Don't be afraid to believe in your own story and your own truth"   Connect: LAM Letter (our monthly newsletter): http://bit.ly/lamletter Twitter: @sisterhood_lam Instagram: @sisterhood_lam   KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   LINKS: Message Africana Woman with Chulu on WhatsApp. https://wa.me/message/E3N7TH7RZSS4P1 +260978470395   Website: https://www.africanawoman.com/    Socials:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign/  Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/africanawoman    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/africanawomanvisionaries    Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/blog

Food is an integral part of African Culture from it's collection, to preparation, to the way that is eaten and disposed of. It is a communal act at every stage. There are customs to who gets to eat what and when what is eaten. It really is a beautiful way to bond. Lucia and Chulu explore how Food can be used as a tool for healing and self discovery.  Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Lucia graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Wellesley College in 2011 with a BA in Studio Art. She completed her MFA in Visual Art in 2015 from Carnegie Mellon University. Through video, printmaking, performance and edible sculpture, she draws on her own evolving experiences of citizenship as one of the main influences in her work.  Her work has also been exhibited in Brazil, the U.S.A., Tunisia, Italy, Cuba, Senegal and South Korea. She is currently based in Nairobi, Kenya, where she parlayed a rash of quarantine cooking during the 2020 lockdown into a delectable discussion series called "Cities on a Plate" that relishes in the intersections of food, culture and society. With a global audience and an eclectic roster of panelists ranging from gastrophysicists and chefs to filmmakers and entrepreneurs, "Cities on a Plate" has grown into a delicious celebration of creativity, innovation and hope.

Are you living authentically? Are you living in line with your thoughts, dreams, beliefs and goals? Christabell and Chulu have an animated conversation about what it means to be true to yourself. Gift this conversation to any young woman you know. This is the type of talk I wish I heard when I was in my twenty somethings.    We covered: Living Authentically Accepting multiple truths Definition of Home Africans ownership of our stories and history Finding your tribe Code Switching   Christabell describes herself as a problem-solver, a perpetual learner, and a little bit of a contrarian, with a healthy dose of curiosity and optimism. She is driven by the desire to creating lasting impact, a commitment to excellence, and a keen interest in developing the capacity of others.   Quote: "There's commonality in all of our humanity" "Your truth doesn't have to threaten my truth" "Home is the place I feel most accepted and that I can be myself and I can be loved just as I am" "I had to find a way to redefine power in a way that allows Africa to exist" "What if we looked at [code switching] as a super power"   Connect with Christabell: LinkedIn - Christabell Makokha Instagram - @ChristabelNanjala   KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   LINKS: Message Africana Woman with Chulu on WhatsApp. https://wa.me/message/E3N7TH7RZSS4P1 +260978470395   Website: https://www.africanawoman.com/    Socials:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign/  Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/africanawoman    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/africanawomanvisionaries    Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/blog

There are African women who are out of sight that we have forgotten as a society. These are women who are in detention or incarceration. Fortunately, there are advocates who are diligently working to reduce the number of women who have to go to prison. Today you shall meet one such woman who is leading the charge in this work across the African continent. Lydia Winyi Kembabazi is a Ugandan lawyer who has had the privilege to serve in different capacities managing legal programmes across the African continent and is now an Advocacy Officer at IHRDA in The Gambia, leading legal reform advocacy projects across Africa. Her Pan African human rights work experience is cross cutting including legal and policy reform advocacy but is particularly passionate about criminal justice reform, refugee and asylum seeker protection, women and children's rights especially for those in detention. We discussed: - Police Reform - Advocacy at the community level by engaging local influencers - Archaic laws dating back to colonial times - Challenges women face when engaged by law officers   Connect with Lydia: LinkedIn: Lydia W.

Is it fair for development agencies to make vulnerable communities dependent on them for help? This has been the pattern for some organisations for many years. Slowly but surely we are beginning to have a different conversation about development. In this conversation with Gertrude Kabwazi we discuss: Integrating Indigenous knowledge as a baseline for service delivery Addressing the roots of poverty Deliberately celebrating the wins and gains Gertrude Kabwazi has been promoted to Executive Director of Yamba Malawi, bringing more than 27 years of experience as a development practitioner and social justice activist to the role. Her expertise in working with both local and international organisations uniquely positions her to lead the organisation, develop community-focused interventions and activities and serve thousands of children each year. Prior to joining Yamba Malawi in 2019, she worked at Advancing Girls Education in Africa, World Vision International, and Concern Universal, among others. Quotes: "The first primary care giver is the parent" "Poverty is a pandemic" "Even when the gains are being made, sometimes people don't want to talk about the gains. We love to talk about the losses more" "Poverty is highly politicised" "Communities must see the progress they are making"   Connect with Gertrude: Instagram: @yambamalawi LinkedIn: Gertrude Kabwazi   KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   LINKS: Message Africana Woman with Chulu on WhatsApp. https://wa.me/message/E3N7TH7RZSS4P1 +260978470395   Website: https://www.africanawoman.com/    Socials:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign/  Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/africanawoman    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/africanawomanvisionaries    Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/blog

What is the best way to introduce yourself. Let's start with your name. Many Africans agonise on whether to use their mother tongue name or their english name. This has so many implications such as whether your job application is even looked at, or whether you will be discriminated against based on Tribalism.  However, an African name has power, deep meaning and symbolism. To discard the name you have been using for majority of your life just so as you can accommodate others, takes away from you showing up authentically and confidently.  Whatever name you choose to go by send us your feedback on Whatsapp or tag @chulu_bydesign on Instagram KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   Africana Woman Retreat: https://forms.gle/KmCVxRNWpJjpX5uF6   LINKS: Message Africana Woman with Chulu on WhatsApp: https://wa.me/message/E3N7TH7RZSS4P1 +260978470395   Website: https://www.africanawoman.com/    Socials:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign/  Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/africanawoman    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/africanawomanvisionaries    Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/blog   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQX48QURyuWxONi5fLxC2A

Our guest Sara believes that we are living in the consequences of a wounded patriarchy. Women are socialised to believe they are lesser than. That they cannot trust themselves or their own intuition but should rely completely on external sources; be it media, search engines, experts, elders etc. Rarely do we consult our SELF. We have forgotten that our divine connection to God grants us an innate wisdom to know what is right for us as an individual being. Sara explains some steps you can take to be an authentic version of yourself. And in turn shed the version the wounded patriarchy wants you to be.

Every woman needs to do a self audit on how she feels about her body. Then take it a step further and find out why you think about your body that way. What happened in the past? What was said about your body? What cemented your beliefs about your body? If any of the answers to these were negative, you have to let that go. If you don't know where to start from, Evelyn is here to help. Evelyn is the owner of Evelyn LeVasseur Fitness, a company that focuses on helping busy, overwhelmed moms reach their body goals without dieting or deprivation. After almost 19 years of dieting on and off, Evelyn realized that focusing on food and exercise was just a band aid to the real issues that were bringing on weight gain. She teaches her clients to eat in a way that keeps their bodies healthy and feeling satisfied. No more restrictions. She wants every woman to know she can want to change her body and love it at the same time. Most importantly, Evelyn knows that if we want our children to grow to be strong, self-loving, and confident, we must be willing to live that for ourselves. Evelyn focuses conversations around the idea of leaving legacies of health for our children and the generations that follow.  Evelyn is a transformational speaker, nutrition coach, certified group and personal trainer, and has a specialization in behavior change. She also has a BA in Psychology and a Master's in Education.    Connect with Evelyn: Instagram: @evelyn_levasseur_fitness FB: Evelyn LeVasseur Fitness LinkedIn: Evelyn LeVasseur   Quotes: "Accept ourselves where we are for who we are" "We give compassion and grace to everyone else but we won't extend it to ourselves" "We will love others unconditionally, but we will love ourselves with conditions" "Why is that we are chasing so hard to look like what 90% of the world cannot look like" "80% of women get stretch marks.

Make goals. Create vision boards, they say. Many of us do this whilst getting fixated on the dream. However, many times are plans are derailed and what we thought would be just does not come to pass. Yet we do not talk about this. How do you handle the disappointment of not getting the thing you worked so hard for, for a very long time? This is a reality we all face.

Tumelo Moreri believes that if women were sexually liberated our society would flourish. We cannot have a conversation around Feminism and Emancipation of women without discussing sex, sexuality and pleasure. African women suppress their sexual desires because they have been socialised to associate sex with negativity. In addition, sexual education in African cultures focuses on pleasuring the men and women who may not even think they deserve to also enjoy the sexual encounter. This conversation is necessary for women of all ages. Tumelo Moreri is a Botswana-based Medicine Woman engaged in a body of work on Womb Medicine. My spiritual mission is to help mostly women leaders, healers, artists and coaches in healing their womb wounds, activating their inner medicine, and accessing deeper intimacy and pleasure in their lives. Her journey as a Medicine Woman started in 2011, when she got her first spiritual awakening, and became more formalised in 2019 when she started working full time as Medicine Woman and leaning more deeply into her spiritual path as a Healer. She is also the founder of Tumelo Moreri International and Host of The Tumelo Moreri Podcast.   Quotes: "Our society would flourish with women being sexually liberated" "Our sexual urges are very very natural" "Just the way we are intentional and make plans for our finances. We should also make plans for our sexual pleasure" "Pleasure is our birthright" "In our society there is shame when you don't know how to do it, when you want to explore how to do it there is shame"   Connect with Tumelo: Instagram:@tumelomoreri  Facebook: Tumelo Moreri Website: https://www.tumelomoreri.com/    KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   LINKS: Send us feedback or a voicenote here: https://wa.me/message/E3N7TH7RZSS4P1 +26097 8470395 Website: https://www.africanawoman.com    Socials:  Instagram: @ChulubyDesign & @AfricanaWoman Facebook: Chulu by Design & Africana Woman   Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/708489836426989    Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/blog

Africana Woman partnered with Kamanga Wear to present the Sombo Makeover, a celebration of women and a self love campaign. Our goal is to remind every woman that Self Love is your birthright. You must make it a priority and put yourself on your calendar. We gave a special woman, Ruth Amanda Kalebwe, a full makeover. Check out the Kamanga Wear or Africana Woman for her transformation. Today Chulu talks to Ruth about the Sombo experience. You will learn what Self Love means to Amanda and why she thinks Forgiveness is so important for everyone. Ruth Amanda Kalebwe is a believer in Jesus Christ as the Savior of her soul. She is a Business Administration student at North Rise University and an Executive Assistant at Rumbi Enterprises. She is a Co-owner of a decor company called Lufuma Events and hopes to be a household brand one day.  Ruth wants to be part of an organization that encourages women to always rely on God. She also wants someone to look at her and say, "she walked closely with God, and because she walked closely with God, I can see that I too, am able to walk closely with God." Recently got a certificate in Project Management and Customer Service. She thinks the latter is so important, especially because she is a service provider. She recently bought farmland💃 She absolutely loves cheesy pick up lines.    Connect with Juliah: Instagram: @writteninpencil_07  Facebook: Ruth Amanda Kalebwe Lufuma Events: Lufuma Events   KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   LINKS: Website: https://www.africanawoman.com/  Socials:  Instagram: @ChulubyDesign & @AfricanaWoman Facebook: Chulu by Design & Africana Woman Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/708489836426989  Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/blog

The biggest hurdle that we must overcome as women is acknowledging that we are all that our human rights can be infringed upon no matter your status. Whether rich or poor, whether educated or not, we live in a world that works against us and has been designed for men. Zanelle and I discuss where our rights as women are infringed, how to become aware when your rights are being and ultimately what to do when you find there has been an injustice against you. Zanelle Felicia Nokhuthula Thabede-Vilakati is a 34 years old female residing in Mbabane, Eswatini. She has experience working in civil society for human rights projects including HIV prevention and management and the advancement of women's rights through advocacy and programming. She has a background in Law studies with the University of Swaziland as well as studies in Sociology and Psychology with the University of South Africa. She is a mother of two daughters and enjoys spending days out in the sun with her family, but nothing too aggressive. She also enjoys spending time with her extended family, her in-laws and mother and sister.  Zanelle has just been appointed as the National Director of a Women's Rights organization called Women and Law in Southern Africa Educational Research Trust(WLSA). She also started an initiative called Women Working Together (WWT) in 2013 with a colleague of the civil society space, with the aim of giving women the platform and opportunity to discover self-awareness.

Zambia is known for her friendly and hospitable people. Which is ironic because as much as we are welcoming of foreigners we are not always as nice to each other. Over the last few years tribalism has reared its sinister head up more prominently within the country. This has resulted in violent altercations and unnecessary loss of life. Even in the day to day lives there are people who do not have the same access to resources, jobs and opportunities all because of the tribe they are part of. With the newly appointed 7th President elect, H.E. Hakainde Hichilema, Zambia finds itself at a crossroads. Will the fraction in the nation grow deeper or will we truly embrace our nation's motto One Zambia, One Nation for every single person. That is yet to be seen. This conversation with Moono Chungu, the author of Routes, really unwraps what tribalism looks like in Zambia and where it could head if not nipped in the bud. We also speak about the vision we have for a united Zambia. Moono Namwizye Chungu is a passionate, persistent and patriotic writer. She has a double major degree in Journalism & Media Studies AND English Literature, which she obtained from Rhodes University, South Africa. She has been published by ten media companies: locally, and in South Africa. She is passionate about anti-tribalism and aspires to be recognised as an advocate for tribal unity in Zambia. Quotes: "We take for granted that just because we are in the same country, that we are having the same experiences" "Out of that beauty, we are ugly because of our tribalism."

This conversation is long overdue. Where is the support for women's rights when we need it. There are too few people that are willing to make known their opinion in the public forum. Nokwanda Dlamini, helps us dissect why some people are more willing to fight for what they believe than others. She offers practical ways that one can be an activist especially if you are not willing to go out on the streets. We also discuss why it is problematic when the majority are passive onlookers on important issues. Nokwanda Dlamini, a Human Capital Consultant (eSwatini, Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa, 2003 – 2009) is a change maker who enjoys solving problems. She has worked in the Human Capital space for over 5 years and is passionate about de-stigmatising mental health in the workplace. Her experience includes consulting in People and Organisation matters as well as project management. Nokwanda holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology and International Studies from Earlham College in the USA, attained through the Shelby Davis Scholarship. Because of her passion for youth development and impact, Nokwanda has been part of the Young African Leadership Initiative and is an African Union Youth Volunteer. Her interests are gender, equity & inclusion and sustainable development. Nokwanda is the current Curator of the Global Shapers Community: Mbabane Hub and firmly believes that we should always speak up about injustice, advocate for social change and find ways to give back. To this end, she is part of the Eswatini COVID-19 National Emergency Response Official Technical Working Group and currently serves on the Board of Directors for Kwakha Indvodza, Eswatini's first male mentoring organisation which specialises in behaviour change interventions with men and boys.

We pick up Mehntay's story when her family had just left Guinea for Australia after 15 years of living as refugees. At this point the family had walked for two years to safety when the war initially began. Her mother was raising 6 children and then adopted 3 more children. Over the years they had lost track of Mehntay's father.  The story is a story of war, displacement, life as a refugee and immigration to a new country. It is a powerful story, which is told in two parts. Mehntay Ngwayah is originally from Liberia. Her story begins at 7 years old when her country disintegrated into civil war.  Mehntay now lives in Australia where she is a registered nurse. Her purpose is to empower others to impact. Therefore, she does this by mentoring. Mehntay is also the owner of a cleaning business that was specially created to employ women of immigrant backgrounds. She is married and has a beautiful daughter.   Quotes: "Even if we don't get a better life. our kids deserve a better life."

There are Defining Moments in our lives that set the trajectory for living out our purpose. For the next few weeks we will listen to such moments. For some, Purpose seems to be this mysterious undefined thing. However, what you will come to learn is that your purpose is unique to you because of your unique experiences. When you look back at your life you will understand that purpose is not something that is external. It is within you. The story you will listen to today is a story of war, displacement, life as a refugee and immigration to a new country. It is a powerful story, which will be told in two parts.

As we wrap up this series on Bad Ass Business Women I encourage you to ask yourself: Am I choosing job security over freedom and fulfilment. Karette would tell you that the security you are holding onto so tightly is only perceived. When the job you have is actually contributing to the deterioration of your mental, emotional and physical health you might want to revisit why you are still there. Another little note is we need to break down the hierarchy of professions. We are under the impression that professions that are obtained through universities carry more importance than vocations and trades. However, if we expand our dreams we would realise that a vocation/trade can be an empire.  Karette is the Founder of VirtualKarette VA Services. Karette's career as an Executive Assistant started in 2013 within the public sector. She then decided to pursue her dream four years later of setting up a VA service. Karette is proud to be the founder of VirtualKarette VA Services and is passionate about helping entrepreneurs build a business empire and create a legacy they are proud of. Entrepreneurship is a journey, not a destination and so, should be enjoyed. It is to this end that Karette and her team seek to support clients – to be a 'partner in success'. In her spare time, Karette supports young entrepreneurs through mentoring. Karette believes in investing in the next generation of entrepreneurs and does so through her work with a number of social enterprises.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all our men listeners. This conversation has an interesting segment about the gap in the social education of young men.  As women we tend to want to save the world, but we do it for free and sometimes to our own peril. However, have you ever considered that you can solve social problems and make money at the same time. That is the definition of Social Entrepreneurship. Our colonisers gave us the non-governmental organisation model and created a dependency on charity. We actually need to move away from Non-for-profit organisations and make businesses that are sustainable, profitable and making positive change in our communities.  Listen to Chola Lungu's journey of impacting social change as an entrepreneur.  "I'm a designer; I design afrocentric clothes, educational material and empowerment programs/workshops for youth" Chola Lungu, owner of Poleka Designs is a Fashion entrepreneur, Zambian culture promoter and 2014 Mandela Washington Fellow. She is a trained runway model and a fashion designer. Chola recently became an author. Her book, Lemonade, is an introduction to financial literacy and environmental issues for children. It is a "Proudly 100% Zambian Product" where the Author, the Illustrator and the Publisher are all Zambians.  Chola is also an Independent Communications Consultant who has worked with Government, NGOs and the corporate world in designing internal and external communication strategies. In addition, Chola is passionate about working with youth and women. She has been a volunteer at Africa Directions in Mtendere for 6 years and with Njira for 4 years,, also in Mtendere. Njira provides free Fashion and design courses for GBV survivors.  Quotes: "You have to have an income" "Don't leave your job until your side hustle is making enough" "Pace yourself.

Listen, can we stop with the Stepping? Steppin out … Step Parents … Step Children. I am a firm believer that when you bring a family together the word Step should not be in your vocabulary at all. But how about this, MEN stop with the jumping from women to women. Gosh it is tiring, do you know that? Just think about the future. Think about your children's wedding. The seating arrangement is a nightmare. Okay let's talk about your funeral, which wife will be declared...sigh I can't deal. Just stop Stepping lol. On a serious note, this conversation is about a multi racial family and a blended family. Lot's of lessons. Vanessa Ungapembe is the first born in a family of seven. She is an honors Law Degree graduate with an aspiration to contribute to the economic growth of Malawi by addressing some social economic challenges from household level, i.e. providing mothers a rare opportunity of nursing their children in safe 'free' daycares as they go through a series of trainings that will make them more competitive in the job market. As a first born, she delved into the leadership role at a young age which birthed her passion and interest in 'people.' Vanessa's sustained refusal to the status quo earned her a place as a Malawi-Representative with the Mi-Lead fellowship program where she interacted with the likes of Kwame Nkrumah and the late Mia Angelo. She is also a YALI fellow and believes that "Good leadership is, among other things, understanding that change is a tool that aids us in bringing life to the things we 'perceive' dead rather than that which buries them further in the ground."   Quotes "As you get older you understand the dynamics but it doesn't make it easier" "Enjoy it, rather than Endure it"   KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose LINKS: Birth of a Mother: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZModeysqzMiH9BhYBlp6jMR6gL_Jp8TWfrB   BYOB - Be Your Own Bae: tps://forms.gle/oBfq1cCyF4dZVhaz8    AWV Networking Virtual Mixer: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcpcOuopjstE9Go7--1WJ_a83VYGNt7o3a7   Socials: www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign www.facebook.com/chulubydesign    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/708489836426989    Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/

Matrescence describe the physical, psychological, and emotional changes people go through during the monumental transformation that is motherhood. When a child is about to be brought forth into the world we tend to focus so much on the baby and Mum is an after thought if it all. Today we listen to a journey that is shrouded in shame, depression, body shaming ...  Yes our mothers/aunties/sisters come to help in the first three months. However, is that enough? Is the support the right kind of support? You judge. Lubunga Lucindi Chawelwa is a speaker, blogger, fitness and maternal health advocate. In this episode with Lubunga , we have a very candid conversation about, what it's really like to become a mother. We talk about the physical, mental and emotional changes a woman must go through. This is a necessary conversation that not a lot of women are having. Take a listen.   Quotes "Everybody talks about how beautiful this journey is, but I want to believe it's not beautiful for everybody."

Kako is the embodiment of motherhood. She has been a single mother. She has adopted orphaned children. She has mothered a daughter in a loving marriage. She is also a mother to the young women she meets in her work space and community. Her children are adults and yet she never stops being a mother. Listen to Kako's story about how she evolved in this role, what her children taught her and how she parents her adult children. It is very clear that no two children are the same. Different ages require different parenting styles and skills. So Mothers you must Evolve.  This episode was recorded with a live audience. You will hear us referring to audience questions.  Kako Michelle Tembo Mvula has over 18 years of experience in anti-corruption work. Her interest in the Youth Ministry is evident in her daily interaction with Youth Groups in her church and community through social media and on a one on one personal approach. Her personal understanding of the youth is that developing their character through strong relationships is the foundation of everything. This belief is based on the fact that her strong foundation was laid for her by her tough loving Jamaican mother and Nsenga father. Throughout her life she has managed to excel both professionally and personally based on lessons learnt from her parents. Kako is married and a proud mother of two beautiful children.    Quotes "I realised that I was not coping on my own." "I left him with my mum. That was one of the hardest days of my life. I cried all the way on the bus back to Lusaka" "We need to move away from the mentality that only the mother should look after a baby" "I always told myself that there are certain things that I went through that I wouldn't want anyone else to experience"   Connect with Kako https://www.instagram.com/michele_david_40_/ https://www.facebook.com/kako.mvula    KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   LINKS: BYOB - Be Your Own Bae: tps://forms.gle/oBfq1cCyF4dZVhaz8    AWV Networking Virtual Mixer: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcpcOuopjstE9Go7--1WJ_a83VYGNt7o3a7   Socials: www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign www.facebook.com/chulubydesign    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/708489836426989    Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/ 

Do you know that in Sub Saharan Africa there is an Infertility Belt at a rate of 33% (in comparison to the world average of 8%). This means that in your group of three friends at least one of you is likely to experience primary or secondary infertility. AND YET WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT IT. We shun childless women. We label them. We ostracise them. We judge these women. My guest today, was so brave and gracious to share her own personal journey with infertility. We had such a rich conversation that I think would definitely give you pause, to think about the way you have treated women who you assume are barren. Kenyan born Linet Kamau, is a wife, lawyer, marketer, bibliophile and a travel and culture enthusiast. Fun fact: she is ALWAYS EXTRA! She is witty, thought provoking, and well read.

As parents we want the best for our children. When we select their education path are we asking the right questions? Have we taken everything into consideration from the impact that the social setting can have on your child? Your child may spend only 4 years in another country but the social effects can impact them for life. Have you researched about what happens beyond the classroom? Have you made a plan of how to support your child? I speak to Wangu Mvula about her experiences having been educated on three continents. We discuss the pros of a global education. We also talk about the toll that things like racial discrimination has taken on her mental health. In addition, we explore the idea of re-assimilation back into her home country. We do not have exact answers but I think as current student or parent it will definitely give you something to think about as you explore different education paths. Wangu Mvula is currently a junior double majoring in chemistry and International Political Economy in the US. In her free time she loves to dance , read books and spend quality time with family and friends. She is easy going, goofy and ambitious. On campus she is a part of AFRO club and the International Students organisation. Wangu is passionate about gender equality and ensuring that women and men are afforded equal opportunities for their self actualization. She is particularly interested in intersectional approaches that focus on the different identities that we take up when addressing inequality. A lot of the views she holds have been shaped by the education she has been privileged to receive and she hopes sharing her story and experiences inspires girls and boys to value education and what it brings to our societies.   Quotes "Being able to respect people and embrace people for their humanity is a big part for me" "I don't think it's wrong to love them for being human"   Connect with Wangu https://www.instagram.com/choco_kits_lover https://www.facebook.com/jemimah.mvula.7    KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   LINKS: BYOB - Be Your Own Bae: https://forms.gle/oBfq1cCyF4dZVhaz8 AWV Networking Virtual Mixer: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcpcOuopjstE9Go7--1WJ_a83VYGNt7o3a7   Socials: www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign www.facebook.com/chulubydesign    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/708489836426989    Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/   

Children should be seen and not heard. If we refuse to hear them, what are the young people in your life not telling you? That is a question we should all ask ourselves. Our guest on the Africana Woman podcast is 21 year old Natasha Kananda, who shares her life story. How she was double orphaned at a very young age. Then what she did as her coping mechanisms. My hope is that you really hear her and in turn hear all children. Natasha Kananda is a third year law student based in Lusaka, Zambia. She is passionate about poetry, music and fashion. She also enjoys expressing self-love by treating herself to new foods and visiting new places.   Quotes "I always have to act fine"   "So I just got better at hiding it when I was with my parents.

As we continue to speak to young African women, I thought it pertinent to talk about how communication plays out in African homes from the perspective of younger people in a household. My guest Lengwe Bobo takes us on a fascinating discussion about Rape Culture, Parenting Stylyes, Youth Exposure and her own personal experience with depression. Even though her mother is a medical doctor she did not know how to help Lengwe. Lengwe Bobo is a 20 year old speaker, Christian, leader, blogger, advocate, pan-Africanist, pro-female who has (at some point) dabbled in the fine science of Robotics. Born and raised in Zambia, she describes herself as ambitious and tenacious. Apart from the whole changing the world thing she has going on, she is currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in law.  Lengwe is driven by three core beliefs: She can (still) change the world. Being a voice to the voiceless and Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. So she decided to start with the man in the mirror. Her passions span: She is an advocate for Christ, mental health, education, climate justice, the dismantling of rape culture, equality of the races, truth, accountability- you name it. Lengwe lives for honest conversations and is a firm believer of starting where you are with what you have. For this reason, my main platform of dissemination is social media. Feel free to reach out to me on any social media platforms   Quotes "Parents think that their children are an extension of themselves. But they are their own human beings." "Don't try and shield them (children) because you won't be there forever" "Parents go for therapy"   Connect with Lengwe https://www.instagram.com/lengwebobo/ https://lengwebobo.home.blog/  https://www.facebook.com/lengweniki.bobo    KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   LINKS: BYOB - Be Your Own Bae: https://forms.gle/oBfq1cCyF4dZVhaz8    AWV Networking Virtual Mixer: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcpcOuopjstE9Go7--1WJ_a83VYGNt7o3a7   Socials: www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign www.facebook.com/chulubydesign    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/708489836426989    Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/

For the next few weeks, we shall have a series where we amplify the voices of young women. They too have powerful stories to share, and lessons to teach. For whatever reason we tend to perpetuate the gap in the generation divide. But we need to start talking to each other. We need to listen and actually hear what the other says, we need to embrace each other.  I have been fortunate enough to meet some phenomenal young women, who have reminded me not to make assumptions on outward appearances. To seek the truth first. My first guest is the Beautiful Timi Aluko from Nigeria. For years, Timi went undiagnosed of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, this caused her to have a hormonal imbalance and uncontrollable weight gain for years. As a result she experienced body shaming, bullying and depression. At 25 years of age, Timi has proudly overcome her tormentors. How? Well I guess you have to listen. Timi Aluko is the founder of Aso, an African Textile production firm. The Program Coordinator of Nigerian National Committee of the United World College, and a virtual assistant for business executives and professionals. She graduated with Honours from the University of Ibadan with a bachelor's degree in Pure Mathematics. Timi is currently a fellow of the Google African Developers Scholarship Program for Associate Google Cloud Certification and the Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Programme. She is enthusiastic about early child education and fascinated by poetry, history, myths and facts.⠀⠀   Quotes "I decide what you say to me and what it means to me"   "They [bullies] cannot stand to hear, No, you cannot talk to me that way"   "When you have self love you won't allow people to create an image of you, You create an image of yourself."   "You can have self love without being selfish"   "Sometimes how people see you is a reflection of themselves"   "Understanding that My uniqueness is much more than my flaws"   "Vulnerability should not be a burden"   Connect with Timi https://www.instagram.com/shoptimialuko/ https://flutterwave.com/store/timialukoapparels    KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose LINKS: www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign www.facebook.com/chulubydesign    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/708489836426989    Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/ 

Oooooo this health series is really coming for my edges. Like Carolyn does not hold anything back as she explains how our spiritual pain manifests in her body. Basically when we have physical ailments we are treating the symptom and not the disease, the root cause. If you listen carefully there are a couple of moments that Carolyn did a cold read on issues I have. So this episode is a combination of physical and spiritual health.  Carolyn Zimba was born in Zambia, and emigrated to England at the age of 5. She went back to Zambia at 13 and went back to England at 18 for university. Carolyn is a movement specialist even though her university degree was in engineering. It is not surprising that she has a keen interest in the mechanics of bodies, however, her work is done on the Spiritual plane. For a long time Carolyn was searching for something, until God found her. It was only then that she felt complete. Quotes "We are the sum accumulation of all of our experiences"   "What energy do we put in these stories we tell about ourselves"   "[Unforgiveness] is like you taking poison and expecting someone else to die"   "Trauma sits in your body"   "I have found that everything that is not of God, is very temporary"   Connect with Carolyn Instagram: @empoweredalignment Website: https://www.theea.life/online  LinkedIn: Carolyn Zimba  Facebook: Empowered Alignment   KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose LINKS: www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign www.facebook.com/chulubydesign  Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/708489836426989  Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/

I am a big supporter of seeking professional help for your mental health. In many of our communities doing so could be frowned upon and seen as an act that can bring shame on your family. This means that we may know that we need to find help, yet we have no one to ask for guidance on how to go about finding a therapist, what to expect and how long to be in therapy. All those questions will be answered in this episode called Therapy to do or not to do with Yuna.  Yuna is an integrative Counsellor/Therapist, and the host of Emotional & Mental Justice YouTube Channel. She believes Emotional and Mental Justice is something we all seek and need. It is at the core of our sanity. It is central to the things that help us function and live a healthy balanced life. It is also something that can be very difficult to attain without the right tools. She works with people on acknowledging their trials and tribulations, to understand your own situations and how you have come to be the person you are today, whilst being empowered to not suffer in silence. Quotes "Talking is healing" "Tune out the noise" "It's not that I was hiding it. I just did not feel I could talk about going to therapy" "Therapists are not there to give you advice" "It's very important not to become dependent on your therapist"   Connect with Yuna Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/em_justice/  YouTube: Emotional and Mental Justice with Yuna   KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose LINKS: www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign www.facebook.com/chulubydesign    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/708489836426989  Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/ 

In this month of April we will be discussing our health from different aspects. First up is your mind health. Our last guest, Juliana Bitarabeho, so eloquently said that everything starts with health, no matter how much you are empowered, if you are not healthy you will not progress. Our guest today takes this statement even further by saying it all starts in the mind. This is a woman who was originally a fitness coach but the more she worked with people, she realised that once the root cause of a client's problem was resolved in their mind, then they would see lasting change. Vuyi is such a lively orator. Her energy is infectious. We had a passionate discussion about her personal journey of having to make the difficult decision to leave her home country. We also talked about how to unlearn and reprogram our minds to work in our favour. She shared some interesting views about how culture should be incorporated in our lives. Vuyi Nempare, a Zimbabwean native, is a mindset transformation coach, speaker, the host of Mindset Intentions podcast and a Health and Wellbeing Consultant. She holds a B. Sc. Communication Systems Management, Ohio University, USA and HNC Health, Fitness & Exercise, from Aberdeen College, Scotland. Vuyi is passionate about women empowerment through wealth creation to build legacy. She is on a mission to make people understand the power of their words.    Quotes "What is your mindset? Or What is your mind set on?"   "Culture and traditions are transient. They evolve."   "Women and Men can compete and complete each other."   "As a mother to a son you are responsible for the husband someone is going to have"   "When we take responsibility for where we are now, we are responsible for the future"   "We cannot blame our parents. Our parents worked with what they had"   "Do not give contradictory message to your children just because of the gender"   Connect with Vuyi Instagram: @1divinelifestyle Podcast: Mindset Intentions Facebook: Vuyi Nemapare E-mail: [email protected]    KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   LINKS: www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign www.facebook.com/chulubydesign    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/708489836426989    Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/ 

So you made it to the top, you are sitting at the proverbial table. You are the leader you always dreamt you would be. Yet, the feeling of imposter syndrome sneaks in. Then doubt sets in, you begin to second guess your decisions, you start comparing yourself to other people. You fear the consequences of when you believe the people around you will discover you are really not qualified to be at that position. Sound familiar? Of course feelings are not fact. That is why it is so important for us to talk about Imposter Syndrome and figure out how to swat it to the side when it does, and it will creep up on you. Juliana and I spoke at great length about imposter syndrome and we also covered understanding your purpose and the role it plays in your life. As women with multiple interests how can you navigate all these areas you feel led to explore.  Juliana Bitarabeho @acapella_stimela is passionate about healthcare and her role at the East, Central and Southern Africa College of Physicians (ECSACOP) is centred around ensuring the strategic sustainability of the college. ECSACOP aims to improve access to well-trained physicians across the region by establishing a network of training centres and implementing an internationally recognised postgraduate medical qualification. The college will ultimately improve health outcomes for the region's 200 million inhabitants, focusing on centres serving the rural population.  Through her volunteering work, Juliana is able to engage her passion for education and future leaders by working with students and change makers from around the globe. She currently sits on the United World Colleges (UWC) International Council as well as the Uganda National Selection Committee. Juliana is also a World Economic Forum (WEF) Global Shaper at the Kampala Hub. She also mentors, provides technical assistance and leadership to local youth groups. Quotes "It [Volunteering] allows me to play in a different space in a way that is acceptable. That is a little more flexible."   "Volunteering is a great outlet to share the things that you are more passionate about"   "It all starts with health … If the person is not healthy, they cannot do anything with what you give them"   "Believe the truth, it's [Imposter Syndrome] a feeling, it's not the truth"   "Failure is just a redirection. It's just a pit stop."   "Success for me is freedom in multiple different ways"   "We get quite confused about the things we like, the things we love and the things we are passionate about"   "Once you understand this is what I am here to do, you can translate that into many things"   "Your passions can change but your purpose does not change"   "You are waiting for someone. [Yet] We are waiting for you."   "Learn to self soothe. That's what gets you through the high highs ...and the low lows."   KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose LINKS: www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign www.facebook.com/chulubydesign    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/708489836426989    Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/

This interview is so rich in the breadth of the topics covered. We ALL have a story to tell. Often we take it for granted or make assumptions about people because of the mountain top they sit on. We forget that they were not placed there but undertook a journey. Talking to Liza (pronounces L-ee-za), made me realise that your life leaves breadcrumbs to your purpose.    First we talk about her family's tumultuous displacement from their home country of Uganda during the reign of Idi Amin. That alone is a story that you should listen to.   We then explored the pros and cons of living abroad which includes; barriers in your career success, being a wife and mother and finding a balance of cultural expectations. Thereafter, concluded with a most informative conversation about how to navigate raising children, especially male children, in countries where experiencing racism is inevitable.   Liza is an international human rights lawyer. She has worked for the United Nations for 13 years in different capacities, in Geneva, Kenya and Zimbabwe. She has also worked with Save the Children Norway in Uganda, as the Program Coordinator-Social Protection - She has experience in criminal litigation and worked with an NGO in New Orleans, Louisiana (USA), handling appeals cases of people on death row. She has worked with various organisations in the past providing legal support to child victims of abuse, juvenile offenders, and refugees.   As an ardent advocate for gender equality and women's rights especially for women of African descent, she Co- founded Phenomenal Women Global (PWG), a non-profit organisation, based in Geneva Switzerland and Uganda. PWG's mission is to connect, advance and empower women by providing leadership training and mentorship for women and girls. In addition to being a career woman she is good mother.   Quotes "This is a very significant problem where we are. People are hungry for success. They are hungry to see role models who look like them."   "Cultural aspect is a limiting factor in women achieving success."   "When you have a partner who appreciates you for who you are and let's you be and achieve your goals, that can be a very pleasant thing"   "Find somebody who accepts you for who you are and what you want to achieve is not threatened by your success, but helps you to build on your success."   "It's important to say, I am a career woman but I am also a good mum. These are my limitations and let's do this together."   "It's not necessary to have a thousand friends. But its very important to have at least one or two good friends that you know … those people are there for you physically or in spirit."   Phenomenal Women Global: Website: http://www.phenomenalwomenglobal.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/phenomenalwomenglobal/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/phenomenalwomenglobal    KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   LINKS:   www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign www.facebook.com/chulubydesign    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/708489836426989    Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/ 

What it means to be African falls under a wide umbrella. It thrills me to share a mighty story from the beautiful island of Mauritius. Anusha and I met during the Young African Leaders Initiative Southern Africa in 2017. In person she is such a bright light and I have since enjoyed watching her career soar from height to height. Inviting her to be a guest was an obvious choice however, I was delightfully surprised to learn about the depth of her essence. The theme of her life is Resilience. And also a deep understanding of her calling, which comes from within. She has overcome what others would call health liabilities. She has had to block out negative words, push past sabotage and ignore what other people think she should be or do. She has powerful examples of how she has navigated her rise. At the age of 29, Anusha exudes a wisdom beyond her years. This can be attributed to an avid spiritual awareness and a very strong support system in her family and friends.  Anusha Seechurn has been named one of the 100 Most Influential Women of Mauritius and was a Top 4 finalist of JCI The Outstanding Young Persons Mauritius. She is an accomplished dancer and performer who is a National registered artist. She has performed in Mauritian and international shows and artistic projects. Whilst in the past she has been a teacher and cabin crew member, she is currently an Assistant Research Scientist in the field of Agriculture and Climate Change.⠀   Quotes "Barriers are just limitations that you have to break."   "I embraced my illnesses…At the very core of it, I realised that I was born to be loved by myself, to be loved by the divine and just to shine my own light"   "What you are seeking, is also seeking you.

We all know that in Africa we have been sold the dream that the grass is greener on the other side. But is it really? We often complain about the images portrayed about Africans on the global stage; from the emaciated baby with a distended stomach and fly on the mouth to streets lined with garbage. Sadly, this tiny percent of the African story has been magnified to the status of an absolute and only truth. Sandra and I discussed how important it is for Africans to tell our own stories and more than that to embrace the numerous blessings of being and living in Africa. If you were to write down the positives and negatives of living in Africa on one sheet of paper, you would be surprised to see how the positives outway the negatives.   That said we have consumed decades long of marketing and PR campaigns by the western countries that has sent messages of unworthiness to Africans. They are not about to stop so it really is our responsibility as African citizens, as individuals to begin to change the narrative. To show the world the truth about where and how we live. To teach the younger generations all there is to be proud of and what to preserve.   Sandra Chuma is an entrepreneur, speaker, coach, podcast host, and award-winning documentary filmmaker. She is a proud Zimbabwean woman first and foremost. Sandra believes that our greatest responsibility is to share our stories so we can inspire and create possibility for others.   Sandra is the founder of Ndini, which is a platform focused on telling the often-untold stories of inspiring, trailblazing women of African descent. She is also the founder of WORTHY and Woman on Fire Summit, which are all brands with a mission to provide information, tools and community to help people find the beautiful and extraordinary in themselves.   "For many years I denied my Africaness. It was not something I shared with people."   "That's when I realised I had to come from way back here. And I was dishonouring the sacrifice of everybody who put into me."   "Our young generation has to realise that there is nothing that will be handed to you on a silver platter"   "He (Her husband) recognises that as a woman I face unique challenges"   "I think the world is shifting… I think that we are at a crossroads… Where we have to question does it make sense for you to go into debt to get a degree."   "Also as an employer we are shifting our focus from do you have a piece of paper from a university to more, you have experience. Tell me about that experience"   "You are infinite possibility. I think our greatest limits, our greatest prisons, exist in our minds."   Ndini Media - https://ndini.com/ | @ndinimedia Sandra Chuma - https://sandrachuma.com/ | @sandra.chuma Queens and Knights - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6buT41Kg18 Plus! - https://sandra-chuma.squarespace.com/video/2016/3/8/plus  This is My Kenya Campaign - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdPUIt1S7I8   KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   LINKS: www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign www.facebook.com/chulubydesign    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/708489836426989    Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/ 

Do you know as educated women we are still subject to abuse on different levels. Words like Narcissist and Gaslighting have become commonplace. However, do you really understand how it works? What emotional and psychological abuse looks like?   This is a powerful story about a woman who lost her life as she knew it in the blink of an eye. Being wrongfully institutionalised in a mental hospital in a plot to make her get lost in the system. We also learn how she overcame such a traumatic series of events.   Rochelle Malone is a certified executive coach, and minister, is the former co- pastor/co-founder of a faith-based organization in her native hometown of Memphis, TN in the United States of America where she faithfully served in full time ministry for over 17 years. She has combined her many years of ministry with the vehicle of coaching and founded Graced Solutions LLC., a platform from which she serves as an Executive Coach, empowering women leaders through transformational coaching to uncover the power of grace to design a life of meaning.   "As black women, as women in leadership, sometimes we live in glasshouses. And we are not able to have safe places where we can talk or people who are informed to share knowledge with us."   "I sought counsel. And all of my counsel was, "Baby just pray about it. You know how black men are. Just pray about it"   "This was a natural occurrence in the 1800s among men in leadership. If they wanted to get rid of their spouse, they put them in a mental hospital because no questions were asked."   "In 28 days I lost everything. I lost my marriage. I lost my kids. I lost my ministry. I lost my money. Everything."   "I realised, in order for me to function, I deadened my emotions."   "I had a bad situation, I picked a bad apple. But that doesn't mean I throw God away."   "God said, "I don't have to bring somebody down to bring you up."   "If you have to lose yourself to be with somebody, the price is too great."   "I was taught that the wife is the lamb. She is the sacrifice for the family. This old lady said to me, "No baby, there is only one lamb and he's already been sacrificed. So what are you sacrificing yourself for … No you are just in a messed up marriage. That's what that is."   KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   LINKS:   www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign www.facebook.com/chulubydesign    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/708489836426989    Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com/   

Have you ever met someone who changed the whole trajectory of your life? Paula Rogo joined me for an insightful conversation about her experiences of moving from the US back home to Kenya as an adult to start a business and settle down. So many factors to consider from building your network, making friends as an adult, work ethic, and managing expectations. Paula has followed a career path that is quite different from what she had originally planned. Learn about how a chance encounter in an elevator, was the first step to her journey on a road less travelled. We also talk about her experience of reaching Rock Bottom and how she rose above it.  You can find Paula on social media @kalibawse Africa Podfest is on the 12th February, 2021. Find out more here:  https://www.africapodcastfestival.com/   "In many ways I am more American or more other, than I actually am Kenyan and that was a disappointment for me to discover" "Can someone give me a guidebook about making friends in adulthood, and then making friends in adulthood in a new country as well" "It's been a very hard experience but one I wouldn't change because there are just so many lessons I have picked up about myself and life that only Kenya could have given me." "There is this perception that people who come from abroad think they are better or know more than locals. … I was really particular about not coming off that way" "Sometimes you meet .. I don't think mentor is the right word. Sometimes you just meet angels in your industry or in your life who are just like I am going to pour into you. And if you do you are so lucky to get that. If you do tell them thank you" "Show up even when you are not ready. Just show up"   KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   LINKS: www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign www.facebook.com/chulubydesign    Join the Africana Woman Visionaries: /https://www.facebook.com/groups/708489836426989 Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com Africana Woman Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/zm/podcast/africana-woman-with-chulu/id1530090498 Chulu by Design YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQX48QURyuWxONi5fLxC2A  

Welcome to Part 2 on our conversation about Racism in Africa, with Muma Sinkala. I love speaking to Muma because she is not afraid to call a spade a spade. If you have not see the first episode on this topic, make sure you go watch it first. Last week our conversation covered colonialism, African dependency on white saviours and Africans being the gatekeepers. This week we spoke about what we as Africans can do to curb racism on our continent. "A great disservice is the African history we learn in schools is written by foreigners" "Visitors to the continent should question why they cannot assimilate in Africa yet manage everywhere else" "Change starts with individuals. Do the research, read and evaluate why you behave certain ways and think certain things."   Braiding used to hold rice and gold in plantations: https://www.bet.com/news/features/1619/the-history-of-hair-braiding-in-black-america.html   Africans were the first to perform C-Sections: https://www.africanexponent.com/post/9780-c-sections-were-invented-in-africa-long-before-they-were-standardized-across-the-world   Lost Libraries of Timbuktu: http://www.understandingslavery.com/index.php-option=com_content&view=article&id=378&Itemid=233.html   Book Recommendation: Why I'm no Longer Talking to White People About Race, by Reni Eddo-Lodge   If you liked this episode please share it with 5 friends.

The topic of Racism in Africa is quite heavy. However, we cannot keep sticking our heads in sand and pretending that it does not exist on the continent. My obvious choice of who to brave this topic with was Muma Sinkala and she did not disappoint. It was such a rich discussion. Albeit sometimes uncomfortable but that is okay.  Our conversation covered colonialism, African dependency on the white saviours and Africans being the gatekeepers.   "Racism is subtle in Africa" "African countries have systems that continue to perpetuate racism" "Every African is traumatised by racism, we just don't recognise it" "For us to get over colonialism we must forgive ourselves and then our ancestors" "Unlearning is required"   This is part 1 of this conversation. Please come back next week to catch the end of this topic.   Book Recommendation: Why I'm no Longer Talking to White People About Race, by Reni Eddo-Lodge   If you liked this episode please share it with 5 friends.

Annie Mbako @nieniedo, is back for Part 2 of our discussion called Brit(ish) Africans; Newcomers to the Game. Quick recap of what we covered; What the attraction is to moving to the British isles. What Africans experience in relation to Afro Caribbeans and White people. How Africans deal with racism. Whether Africans are thriving in the UK. Money habits as Africans. Black Tax. Building generational wealth .... oh my days guys we talked about so much, you have to check it out. As we know Africa is not one country but a continent of 50+ countries. Which in itself can be isolating when immigrating to another country. The natives see us as one entity, yet Africans do not behave that way. Certainly there is power in numbers and we should explore how to see past boundaries and raise each other up. People on and off the continent should really shift to having long sighted plans, strategies and goals. Secondly, the relatives and friends of people that have immigrated to the British Isles should have realistic expectations. For someone to be well established it takes a while. Instead what happens is that the person in Britain ends up either living in poorly conditions or they are not able to build proper generational wealth because they are obligated to frequently send money to their countries of origin. It is not sustainable.   "Black Tax is a tax on your health" "There is zero excuse for having no insurance when living in western societies" "Does every single thing in what I do have to be bougie? The answer is No." "(Africans) we need to move as one" "Stop comparing yourself with families that have real wealth. We are starting on a back foot. Spend your money wisely" "A good generational wealth building habits is investing. Do not just save."   Annie's book recommendations: Brit(ish): On Race, Identity and Belonging, Afua Hirsch Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire, Akala   KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   LINKS: Find me on social media www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign www.facebook.com/chulubydesign  Join the Africana Woman tribe: https://www.facebook.com/groups/290100402115926/ Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com KNOW your Purpose: http://bit.do/KNOWyourPurpose  

The Africana Woman spotlight this week is on Annie Mbako @nieniedo, ooooo this chat became so juicy. I always like to make sure the topic is exhausted, and there was so much information she was giving. Or maybe I'm just nosey lol. All the same, this topic will be in two parts. Annie is Cameroon born and a British national. We covered everything from how Africans end up in the British Isles. What the attraction is. What Africans experience in relation to Afro Caribbeans and White people. How Africans deal with racism. Whether Africans are thriving in the UK. Money habits as Africans. Black Tax. Building generational wealth .... oh my days guys we talked about so much, you have to check it out. This conversation is two fold: A} The experiences of immigrants to Britain B) The expectations of immigrants to Britain from their families and friends back in their country of origin c) The reality vs expectations of people seeking to immigrate to Britain "Caribbeans paved the way for black people in the UK. It was a massive sacrifice." "It was Wales when we left the house, but Cameroon inside the house" "There is a lot more open racism in England than Wales" "My parents tried to protect me from racism and micro aggressions. I thought they were trying to restrict me" "As a minority group it is important to maintain connections" "We are guests to the table" "If you are black fact is you will continue to experience racism for the rest of your life" "The next generation down have looser connections with their countries of origin, no matter what you do" Annie's book recommendations: Brit(ish): On Race, Identity and Belonging, by Afua Hirsch Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire, by Akala Make sure you come back next week for Part 2.

Thank you Lumba Kalumba for giving us a colourful insight into your journey in the political world. She is an Africana Woman with so much grace from Zambia.  Certainly during the Corona pandemic women across the world are proving how they are leaders of substance even through this crisis. Proving the relevance of our voices in the political space. African women have traditionally had roles of political power which were diminished in the wake of colonialism. Currently, the political culture is rife with greed, violence and an insatiable hunger for power. This is not an environment that is attractive for many capable women who may be suited to be in politics. Together as men and women we need to work together to make a supportive and empowering space for women to thrive in politics. Here are some suggestions: - Political parties should have a induction training for all new members to learn about the history, the values and best practices - Politicians should embrace eloquent and persuasive speech grounded on virtues to sway constituents as opposed to exerting power through physical and verbal violence. - The political climate is a reflection of the leader. The trickle down effect. Just as greatness is contagious so is poison. Leaders need to operate from a position of service.

This is part two of my conversation with Khanya Sosibo @mskaysos. Make sure you catch Part 1, for all the wisdom dropped by this Africana Woman. We spoke about Success, Self-love and being Single. In this edition we dove deeper into the pains and joys of being a professional single African Woman. We learned "You are Fat!" is Not a greeting. Three things one should know about yourself before jumping into a relationship: Your Values Your Desires Your Wants Set Boundaries as a way of practicing self love.

Khanya Sosibo @mskaysos (IG) is a powerhouse Africana woman from South Africa. This conversation was soooo much fun; we laughed and learned. She was dropping gems throughout the chat. We talked about defining Success, Self-Love and being an educated professional Single African woman. Can you relate? I certainly can being a 36 year old single parent.    Practicing self preservation is a form of self-love. In comparison to Selfish which takes away from others. I don't believe in doing things out of duty...I will do something because I want to do it. Stop, Breathe, Take stock then move on.   We spoke extensively on this topic, it really could not be squeezed into 30 minutes. Guess what there is a PART 2!!!

Elishibah Msengeti Poriot @theclassroomoutside (IG) kicks off the Africana Woman podcast with an appropriate conversation about African Women Role Models. She is a deep well of knowledge on the topic.   African Women Role Models is of particular importance to me. I remember being young and being broken hearted because the dolls did not look like me. Representation in the simplest areas count.   I cannot overstate how much impact there is to see yourself in African Women that have forged ahead before us.   Elishibah took us on a journey from ancient times to present day of notable African Women role models. She also spoke about her personal experiences interacting with African Women role models.   We spoke about the importance of having role models and what to look for in a role model. "Authenticity and a holistic view" "Seek to understand the process of a woman's Success" "Not all successful women are role models"   Recommended Books: Nawal El Saadawi: Woman at Point Zero All Books by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Wangari Maathai: Unbowed: A memoir Ellen Johnson Sirleaf: This Child Will Be Great: Memoir of a Remarkable Life by Africa's First Woman President Wanjiku Mukabi Kabira: Time for Harvest Aminatta Forna: The Devil That Danced on the Water   If you liked this episode please share it with 5 friends.

Hi,  My name is Chulu. I am so excited to share with you stories of the amazing Africana Women that I meet across the world.  The Africana Woman podcast was born out of a need to break the silence around culturally taboo topics. There are so many of us who believe that our struggle is unique or ours to bear alone.  Honey, You are not alone. In fact you have a sisterhood waiting to embrace you. This is a safe space for us to listen to our fellow sisters sharing their experiences and how they overcame struggles in their lives. Here we celebrate each other and welcome deeper discourse. In 2019, I went through a series of anxiety attacks and depression. What I realised was that my life, though seemingly successful from the outside, was not fulfilling. So I began my journey to really understanding my purpose and also pursuing a life that I truly enjoy. It has been such a blessed journey.  In this season I birthed the Africana Woman tribe and the KNOW your Purpose Retreat just for you. My desire for you is to love yourself, flaws n all, and attract the life that you desire. Join me every week for a new podcast episode and let's thrive together   KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose.   LINKS: www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign www.facebook.com/chulubydesign  Join the Africana Woman tribe: https://www.facebook.com/groups/290100402115926/ Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com  KNOW your Purpose: http://bit.do/KNOWyourPurpose
