Ep.110 Counquering Your Mountains with Charlene Milner
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. We talk about what her experience can relate to your proverbial mountains.

Ep.109 Your Feminine Energy with Salome Phiri
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. She is the founder of Woman Up Africa (formerly African Woman Redefined), a social enterprise that creates a unique space for women to develop themselves both personally and professionally.

Ep.108 Single Mama Power with Ngombo Chansa Isaacs
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.

Ep.106 Gender Roles in African Relationships with Prudence Gorimani
Prudence dumped her then boyfriend (now husband) because he was too nice! He would cook for her, help her clean, spend hours with her when he had other options, go above and beyond to make sure she was okay. BUT She dumped him.
Ladies are we addicted to trauma bonds & drama?
Today we explore gender roles in the context of an African romantic relationship. Bring your notebook and pen.
*****
Prudence Gorimani was born in Zambia and moved to South Africa when she was about 10 years old. She currently lives in Ireland. Moved here in 2019 on her husband's critical skills visa. She is a Mum to two gorgeous kids. Despite having a law degree from Unisa, the move prevented her from getting the chance to practice. Prudence currently works as tech support for Sky. When she is not tending to her family or working, she pretty much has her head buried in a book. She love loves fantasy. She recently published her first book titled Happily Sort of Ever After.

Death by Food
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.

Ep.101 Cancer of Misinformation with Udie & Fecility
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.

Ep.98 Chasing Purpose with Patrice Washington
Grab your tissues and notepads. This is such a full circle moment for me. In 2019 a voice of hope pulled me out of depression. That voice was Patrice Washington on the Redefining Wealth podcast. If you ever doubted the healing power of a podcast, listen to this episode.
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.”

Phoebe was diagnosed with ADHD 2 years ago and has since been learning how to improve her quality of life through different interventions.
Emily has a Bsc. Psychology – MSc. Health Psychology and is currently the resident Psychologist at Renaisense in Lusaka Zambia. She provides a professional medical perspective to this conversation.

Ep. 95 African Content Creators Starter Kit with In’utu J. Mubanga
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.

Ep.93 From Foster Parents to a Forever Family with Mo! Sibyl
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…

Africana Woman with Chulu Trailer
Hey Beautiful,
Looking back, as an African Woman living in foreign lands, I wish I had this podcast. A space where I can feel connected to home. A space where women have honest & intelligent conversations. Where everyone understands my lingo or when and why I code switch. A space that is safe to talk about all things that were taboo growing up but I never quite learned and yet am supposed to be an expert on as an adult. 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.
Lots of Love
Chulu

Ep.89 Collaborate to Accelerate with Monde Zama
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

Ep.82 Why Education Is Not Changing with Tebogo Kangote III
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 complet…

Ep.77 The Divorcee with Asedi Manda
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. She is an entrepreneur and also a counsellor. She has been divorced for 7 years now.

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.
We cover:
* Living without a parent
* Interracial families
* Immigration

Ep.66 Liberate Yourself when you L.E.A.D. with Marsha-Ann Donaldson-Brown
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.

It's time for African Women to become Brazen in the way they tell their stories to the world. This is beautiful conversation about storytelling. We talk about:
- Our own stories
- How to tell stories
- Why we tell stories
Laura Ekumbo, Aleya Kassam, and Anne Moraa are The LAM Sisterhood: a story company, telling stories for African women to feel seen, heard and beloved. 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”

Ep.62 Food & Self-Discovery with Lucia Nhamo
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 r…

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.

Ep.58 The Women Out of Sight with Lydia W. Kembabzi
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.

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.

Ep.56 The Conundrum of Development with Gertrude Kabwazi
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

Ep.52 Say Your African Name with Pride
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

Ep.49 Disrupting the Status Quo of the Wounded Patriarchy with Sara Yagoub
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.
Sara Yagoub, The Intentional Entrepreneur, is a mother, wife, businesswoman, referral marketing expert, speaker, author, investor, founder of ‘The Referral Circle’, and Host of Renegade Revolution Radio™ Podcast.

Ep.47 Healing Your Relationship with Your Body with Evelyn LeVasseur
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…

Ep.45 Sexual Pleasure is your Birthright with Tumelo Moreri
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 a…

Ep.40 The Routes of Tribalism in Zambia with Moono Chungu
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.

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.

Ep.33 Choosing Freedom Over Job Security with Karette Trottman
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.

Ep. 31 Working to Profitably Solve Social Problems with Chola Lungu
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.

Ep.28 Drop the Step before Mother with Vanessa Ungapembe
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 train…

Ep.27 Embracing the Journey into Matrescence with Lubunga Lucindi Chawelwa
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.

Ep.26 Mothers Evolve with Kako Mvula
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.

Ep.25 Redefining the Stigma of Being Childless with Linet Kamau
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. I love to pick her brain and today you get a chance to experience her radiance. I know you’ll love her.

Ep.24 Education Beyond the Classroom with Wangu Mvula
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.

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.

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.

Ep.21 When your Body is Misunderstood with Timi Aluko
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.

Ep.20 That Physical Pain You Feel Has a Deeper Source with Carolyn Zimba
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.

Ep.19 Therapy. To DO or NOT to DO with Yuna
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.

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.

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.

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.

Ep.12 Possibility, Education and Truly Being Proud to Be African with Sandra Chuma
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…

“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.”

Our conversation covered colonialism, African dependency on the white saviours and Africans being the gatekeepers.

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.

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.
