Djali Podcast
This podcast from the Nawi Collective aims to create a space for oral documentation between and about African women working to tackle macro-economic inequalities using a Pan African, feminist lens. The podcast will examine how global economic and structural inequalities bear down on African women and affect their access to resources and essential services from health to education. It will also interrogate how to re-imagine a future that is inclusive and just using a Pan African feminist approach.
Hosted by Elizabeth Maina, Crystal Simeoni, Omolara Oriye and Nombuso Mathibela
