About Footprints Podcast Series

Welcome to the groundbreaking Footprints Podcast, a vibrant series honouring the remarkable legacies of influential elders. Anchored in the study conducted by CivSource Africa on Executive Transitions and Succession planning, our commitment in response to the study recommendations is to document and tell stories of change, transition, and succession among leaders within the sector and beyond. The process seeks to glean lessons from those who have led and served before us. Join us on as we honour those who've paved the way and reflect on the legacies we aspire to leave behind!

Know Yourself | Episode 1 - Part 2

In Part Two of the Footprints Podcast, Dr. Hilda Tadria takes us deeper into her extraordinary journey of leadership, feminist consciousness, self-awareness, and legacy. From Makerere to ESAMI [https://esami-africa.org/], from consultancy work to the United Nations, and eventually to the founding of MEMPROW [https://www.memprow.org/], Dr. Hilda Tadria reflects on the doors she walked through, the systems she challenged, and the girls and women she committed her life to empowering. This episode is a powerful reminder that awareness alone is not enough. True leadership requires the courage to act, the wisdom to build, and the humility to prepare others to carry the work forward. Listen to Part Two of Dr. Hilda Tadria’s story now on the Footprints Podcast. _ For more on CivLegacy Foundation's Change Initiative,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ HERE⁠⁠:⁠⁠ [https://www.civsourceafrica.com/] #footprintspodcastseries

Footprints Podcast | Season 2 | Episode 1 - Part 1 | The Girl They Refused to Let Shrink

In this episode of Footprints Season 2, Jacqueline Asiimwe sits with Dr. Hilda Mary Kabushenga Tadria [https://awdf.org/dr-hilda-m-tadria/] for a deeply reflective conversation on childhood, education, mentorship, feminist consciousness, marriage, motherhood, leadership, and legacy. Footprints Season 2 turns toward succession, transitions, and legacy, asking what it means to live in a way that leaves others stronger, steadier, and less likely to fall off the radar. Dr. Tadria shares the early memories that shaped her, from being sent to boarding school at five to the sacrifices her parents made for her education. She reflects on the teachers and mentors who recognised her potential, her journey through Makerere University and Cambridge, and the experiences that deepened her commitment to supporting girls and young women. This conversation is a powerful reminder that people do not become who they are alone. They are seen, held, challenged, guided, and sometimes lovingly dragged toward the larger life waiting for them. Watch, listen, and sit with the wisdom of an elder whose footprints continue to shape generations. _ A vision-driven contributor across the following organizations:Welcome to MEMPROW [https://www.memprow.org/]The African Women's Development Fund: Home [https://awdf.org/]Action For Development (ACFODE): Home [https://acfode.or.ug/]_ For more on CivSource Africa's Change Initiative, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠:⁠ [https://www.civsourceafrica.com/] #footprintspodcastseries

Footprints Podcast | Season 1 | Episode 26 - Part 3 | The Work of Listening and Repair

Ruth later joined Isis Women’s International Cross-CulturalExchange, starting as an information and documentation coordinator, volunteering for six months while still employed at the Ministry, then transitioning fully and eventually becoming Executive Director. At Isis WICCE, she widened access to information beyond elite circles and built documentation that elevated marginalized voices to policymakers. Her work in Luwero and Northern Uganda exposed her to the realities women faced during conflict, including atrocities linked to the LRA war. She helped turn testimony intoaction: advocacy reports, a mental health policy for trauma victims, medical camps for fistula and pelvic floor conditions, and counseling support for emotional recovery. She also helped expand the work beyond Uganda to placesincluding Liberia, South Sudan, Kenya, Nepal, and strengthened public accountability through the International Peace Exposition and health interventions during the AIDS epidemic. After 20 years, she retired in 2016 following a planned transition and succession process. Recognition followed, including an award from Women Have Wings. She remains committed to the belief that trauma care is a national priority, and that documentation protects courage from erasure. _ ©Blurb written by Oratile Mokase For more on CivSource Africa's Change Initiative, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠: [https://www.civsourceafrica.com/] #footprintspodcastseries.

Footprints Podcast | Season 1 | Episode 26 | Part 2 | The Discipline That Opened Doors

After earning a Diploma from Makerere University, Ruth joined the Ministry of Justice as a librarian. She took her work seriously, treating order, cleanliness, and accuracy as real service. That discipline opened an unexpected door: an opportunity to study in London. She completed her first degree and later earned a Master’s Degree in communications. Returning to the Ministry full of ideas, she pushed for laws to reflect Ugandan realities, including recommending community listening so legislation could respond to lived experience. Despite her qualifications andvision, the system rewarded her with a limited promotion to Senior Librarian, revealing the gap between good ideas and institutional appetite for change. _ ©Blurb written by Divine Karungi For more on CivSource Africa's Change Initiative, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠: https://www.civsourceafrica.com/ #footprintspodcastseries.

Footprints Podcast | Season 1 | Episode 26 | Part 1 | Growing Up Held, Growing Up Ready

Ruth Ojiambo Ochieng takes us back to Genguluho Village, in present day Namayingo District, along Lake Victoria, where her story begins in 1955. She describes a childhood shaped by food security, safety, and a deeply protective family led by her father, a Reverend who watched over her well being with serious intention. Her schooling journey moves through Masese Primary School, then Mulili Girls’ School, and later Wanyange Girls School, where she is nominated head girl in Senior Three, her first formal leadership role. Part 1 also holds the quiet, formative guidance she received as a girl around menstruation, safety, and sexuality, lessons that later gained deeper clarity during her A Level years at Namasagali College. What stays with you is how early preparation becomes a form of protection, how community shapes confidence, and how solidarity becomes a practice long before it becomes a slogan. _ ©Blurb written by Divine Karungi For more on CivSource Africa's Change Initiative, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠: https://www.civsourceafrica.com/ #footprintspodcastseries.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
