Fading Causes with Mukesh Kapila - How Can Small Voices Make a Difference? with Ambassador Yvette Stevens
EPISODE 11: How Can Small Voices Make a Difference? with Ambassador Yvette Stevens
What drives a woman to choose the harder road — to study in Soviet Moscow when the world said go West? To wire a nation’s power grid when no one believed a woman could? To speak truth to power in the corridors of the UN and still find laughter amid life’s ironies?
In this episode of Fading Causes, Mukesh Kapila sits down with Ambassador Yvette Stevens, Sierra Leone’s first female electrical engineer, a UN veteran, and a diplomat who has lived through the Cold War, civil war, and countless battles for gender equality.
What did it take to break barriers in a man’s world? How did her faith, humour, and fierce independence carry her through decades of diplomacy and disruption? And why does she now joke about colour-coordinating her own coffin?
Watch a fearless, funny, and deeply human conversation about ambition, resilience, and what it means to stay true to yourself, even when the world keeps changing the rules.
