Noëlla Coursaris Musunka On Modelling, Malaika & Her Mission To Educate Girls


Listen Later

Trinny is joined by international model-turned-philanthropist and Founder and CEO of Malaika, Noëlla Coursaris Musunka. 


Welcome to Fearless, the empowering podcast that tells the stories of inspirational people who have overcome challenges and fears in their lives in order to thrive.


Born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Noëlla’s life changed suddenly aged five when her father died, leaving her mother destitute with no choice but to give her up. Together, she and Trinny take a look back at her difficult childhood spent living with uncaring relatives in Europe, the saving grace that was her education and the Agent Provocateur modelling competition that changed everything. They discuss her long-awaited reunion with her mother and the beginnings of the Malaika foundation, which Noëlla founded in 2007 with one mission: to empower girls and their communities in the DRC through education, clean water, vocational training and health programs. 


Plus, they delve into what it means to give back to your community, the life-changing power of education and finding the strength to overcome adversity.
