Hosts Julie Slater & Jason Friday chat with Linda James aka Congo Linda. Intent on making a "different difference" in the world, Linda left corporate America behind and moved to the Democratic Republic of Congo in the heart of Africa to do development work.  Her involvement in clinical research studies there inspired her to obtain a Masters in Public Health.  And so the pursuit of her passion continues to evolve!

We talk about the how & why Congo...why a 17-hour canoe ride??...how a Riverside, CA girl handles herself in a third world country...how tremendous support back home helped Linda with her big move....why she likes eating termites...Congo hot sauce?!!?...how Covid got Linda out of Congo quick...and what she's doing when her Masters is finished...
