This week on The Long Form, I sit down with Caroline Mutoko, a legendary voice in African media and a fearless advocate for women’s leadership and bold African futures.

From ruling Kenya’s airwaves to redefining what female power looks like in public spaces, Caroline shares the costs of being an unapologetic woman in media, why she walked away at the height of her power, and whether digital creators can surpass traditional media’s influence. We unpack what “African audacity” looks like in 2025, how Kenyans and Rwandans can learn from each other, and what the future of East African women will be by 2035.

If you care about African leadership, gender, media, and building a fearless Africa, this conversation is for you.
