As James Brown once put it, it’s a man’s world. But in this episode we talk to three women who don’t think that’s true. And they’re proving it by doing the most in male-dominated industries.  What challenges do they face? How do they make their voices heard in their place of work? And what are the positives of being one of the only women in those industries? Linda Mabhena-Olagunju runs a wholly African female-owned independent power producer, and operates one of Africa's largest wind farms.   DJ Elly is one of Angola’s biggest DJs.  Kah Walla, politician and entrepreneur, was the first woman to stand for president in Cameroon in 2011. <hr> Hosted on Acast.

Is it really a man's world?

Welcome to Limitless, the podcast series that &nbsp;asks the questions which matter to Africa. Are tech start-ups the answer to Africa's unemployment problem? Can we stop fake news from spreading on the continent? How do we raise a generation of football stars?&nbsp; These are just some of the topics we’ll be tackling. And we’re not looking for simple answers. Just as Africa’s potential is limitless, so are the possible solutions to any challenges the continent faces. During each podcast episode, we’ll be asking three very different subject experts to give their take on each question. This will come as no surprise but they don’t always agree. Made possible with a grant from the U.S. Department of State and the Seenfire Foundation.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
