"Defending Dignity: Dismantling Caste Systems in Nepal"

In this powerful episode, our Host, Lady Marieme, engages in a compelling conversation with fellow Young Global Leader Padrip Pariyar, the head of the #DalitLivesMatter Global Alliance.

This impactful movement aims to bring global awareness to the deeply troubling issue of caste-based discrimination while empowering Nepal's young activists, known as "Dignity Defenders" to fight against this injustice.

Padrip shares his personal experiences of growing up in the Dalit Community, bravely recounting his exclusion from public places and the discrimination he endured from even his closest friends and teachers solely because of the entrenched caste system in Nepal. His journey serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need to address these systemic inequalities.

Together, Padrip and Lady Marieme dive into a thought-provoking exploration of the caste system in Nepal, shedding light on its complex workings and the devastating impact it has on the lives of Dalits and other marginalized communities. They also highlight the universal nature of discrimination, acknowledging that many groups worldwide have suffered inhumane treatment due to their birthplace or social status.

The episode serves as a powerful call to Action, urging listeners to stand against all forms of inequality. Padrip stresses that meaningful change starts with awareness, education, and understanding. By learning about these pressing issues and empathizing with those affected, we can all support equal rights for everyone.

Join Lady Marieme and Padrip in this eye-opening conversation, and discover how we can collectively create a more just and inclusive world. Through education and empathy, let's work hand in hand to dismantle discriminatory systems and promote a future where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Together, we can make a difference.

"Shaping Change: The Power of Integrity"

Our Host speaks with South Sudanese Deng Dak Malual, the curator of the Global Shaper Hub in Kakuma Refugee Camp. Deng is transforming lives, opening doors, and despite facing the trials and tribulations of being a refugee himself, has emerged as an advocate for financial inclusion, peacebuilding, better livelihood for refugees and climate change.

Born in South Sudan, now living in Kakuma Refugee Camp, he spoke to our Host whilst she was in China. In a candid call, both explored the challenges faced by refugees in accessing financial services, the innovative solutions being implemented, and the positive impact these initiatives are having on individuals and communities.

The Global Shapers Community believes in a world where young people are at the heart of solution-building, policy-making and lasting change.

In today's episode, we embark on a remarkable journey to a refugee camp that showcases the power of resilience and entrepreneurship.

Our Host visited Dadaab Refugee Camp last month and had the privilege of meeting extraordinary women who defied all odds and embraced entrepreneurship as a means to rebuild their lives. Their determination, creativity, and unwavering spirit left an indelible mark on her.

Dadaab is Africa's first and largest refugee camp which is now 32 years old. More than 300,000 refugees now live in the camp in Kenya originally intended for 90,000 according to UNHCR. She celebrated World Refugee Day, where she also met U.N.H.C.R. colleagues.

She discussed and delved into the stories of these remarkable female entrepreneurs like Adhieu Achuil, who have transformed adversity into opportunity. From handcrafted goods to innovative services, from crushing nuts into hair shampoos and oils, they have unleashed their entrepreneurial talents to not only sustain themselves but also uplift their communities. Their stories will inspire you, challenge your perceptions, and ignite a sense of hope and possibility like they did to our host.

Join us as we uncover the triumphs and tribulations of these resilient women, discover the transformative Power of entrepreneurship, and gain a deeper understanding of the human spirit's incredible ability to thrive even in the face of unimaginable circumstances.

The Power of Empathy: Fostering a World-Caring Mindset

In this special Podcast compilation, our Host looks back at some of the most inspiring moments and thought-provoking insights shared by our esteemed guests. We've heard from a myriad of personalities who are making incredible strides in their fields, and today we want to reflect on their wisdom, from Beatrice Bondy to Mark Wamaya, who said: "Everybody deserves the right to dance. Dancing is like coding. It is a tool that we can use to fight poverty in Kibera. I want to give people dignity, and I know they can do magic and fix the world when they are young and themselves."

Bhushan Sethi also talked about creating meaningful partnerships.

Despite our guest's wide range of backgrounds and professions, we noticed common threads across their narratives. Themes like caring, accountability, responsibility, innovation, and Community have been recurring, shaping their approaches to fixing the world.

Our Host shared her reflections in an emotive and candid way.

Exclusive: Who is Fixing the World - "Why Should We Care About Africa?" with Pierre Goudiaby Atepa

What a week. How did we get here? This is the question that we keep asking ourselves each morning. Our guest has got answers.

This week's episode was recorded from ⁠Dakar, Senegal, ⁠where our Host spent a week speaking and meeting people despite the political instability.

Our Host spoke at the ⁠E-Learning Africa⁠, a platform promoting e-learning in Africa and encouraging collaboration amongst the chief learning officers.

Senegal is a country of over 16 million people, and youth unemployment is exceptionally high; young people, especially women and girls, lack skills and cannot get jobs.

Both discussed how we can develop Senegal and Africa in general. He said that people just need to care. When people care about Africa, we will be able to eradicate Poverty. People care too much about themselves; hence the poverty level is what it is.

He said their generation had failed Africa, and he wants to ensure the next generation does better for Africa, and for that to happen, the mindset must change.

The renowned and celebrated African Architect Pierre Goudiaby Atepa is our guest for this exclusive Podcast. Mr Goudiaby has created the most iconic African buildings, including the Central Bank B.C.E.A.O. The building is situated in Burkina Faso. He also made the Millenary Door in Dakar, the Banjul airport, and the Bank of the Economic Community of West African States (E.C.O.W.A.S.) in Lomé, to just name a few. 

He is currently looking at Smart cities and how to build administrative cities in Africa. He believes we must change our mindset, invest more in our cities and think differently to develop our continent. The Human capital of Africa is immense, but when we care more about the continent, change can happen. We truly loved talking to Pierre at his home in the Senegalese Capital.

In conversation- "How to become a better ancestor."

Recorded from Japan, in this week's episode, Author, Ancestorist, and Buddhist Monk Shoukei Matsumoto joined our Host, Lady Marieme, to discuss his new project, "Camphor Three Village". He was born in 1979 in Japan; he graduated with B.A. degree in Literature from the University of Tokyo. They spent time together in Japan, where she recently visited and spoke to over a thousand people in person and online.

In support of Mastumoto, our Host helps define what it means to become a better ancestor to a different audience in this modern world.

She agrees with Shoukei that future generations must rethink ancestry, be accountable and do better for the world.

The time they spent together during this pilgrimage allowed them to reconnect and share some memorable moments they both cherished. Both have an in-depth conversation on incorporating the Ikigai and Ubuntu concepts in our thinking and daily lives.

In this episode, our Host invited Swiss Economist Beatrice Bondy. She opened up about her family, passion and concern for the world we are living in and shared her advice on how to teach responsibility and accountability.

She shares a key lesson that's shaped her journey and life: Being able to care and take responsibility for your life and society. Be sure to start taking action before it is too late. Accountability means responsible behaviour. She said setbacks will happen in life—but if we treat them as teachable moments, they can help us grow and be accountable. Beatrice and our Host visited Kakuma Refugee Girls, where she taught them about financial inclusion and many other things.

A good place for leaders to start is engaging in small, doable habits that require compassion, courage, and curiosity.

How to build deep and meaningful school collaboration?

In this week's episode, our Host visited the Tormead Girls school in Guildford, where she spoke to the students. The Tormead school girls were joined by their Nepalese friends who visited the school to learn and gain experiences.

Lady Mariéme was invited to meet the Tormead girls and their Nepalese school students counterparts. They shared their hopes and dreams but also challenged us to do better for young women and girls who do not have the opportunity they have.

The girls of Tormead understand their privileges and vouch to be inclusive and do better for their generation.
