Africa’s Youth Unfiltered

How Africa Can Revolutionize (overview)

Hello everyone! Welcome to the first episode of our new series: How Africa Can Revolutionize. In this series I hope to dive into the steps I believe would be necessary in achieving our dreams of our countries becoming fully developed nations--- steps that are achievable, but won't happen overnight. This episode is more of an overview, but stay tuned for the following podcasts where I dive deeper into each step, and bring on guests to talk about what this future would look like, and what we as African people would have to do to get there. **small correction: There are 54 countries in Africa, 52 of which claim to be democracies. The two that do not identify as democracies are Eswatini (absolute monarchy) and Eritrea (one-party authoritarian state w/ no elections).

Going Back Home to Practice Medicine ft. Dr. Oni (part 2)

Going Back Home to Practice Medicine ft. Dr. Oni (part 1)

Hello everyone! After returning from my break to focus on school, I can’t thank you enough for sticking with me. I’m excited to present this episode with one of the doctors I’ve admired for a while now: Dr. Julius Kunle Oni. Dr. Oni’s efforts have often gone unnoticed, as he made the brave decision to leave his work in the U.S. and become a full-time orthopedic surgeon in Nigeria. Join us as we dive into his story, his advice, and discuss some of the things that might be holding the rest of us back. This will be the first episode out of two, so stay tuned for the second part next Friday.

Developmental Disabilities in African Households ft. Ms. Elizabeth

Happy Sunday, everyone! In today’s episode, we’re tackling a somewhat sensitive topic: What African Parents of Children with Disabilities Need to Hear. I’m sure we all know at least one family member who has an intellectual or developmental disability—whether it's autism or another condition. Unfortunately, there is often a stigma surrounding these individuals, which is why I believe it's so important to shed light on this issue. Join Ms. Elizabeth and me as we discuss the stigmas, stereotypes, and mindsets of many African parents. More importantly, we’ll explore how we as a community can shift our mindset to better support and bring out the best in our loved ones with disabilities.
