As the cold, bitter temperatures of winter start to set in here in Athens, OH, what could be more comforting than learning about the “warm heart of Africa”? Join us in this third episode as we venture to Malawi with OHIO graduate student Jessie Gongolo, a passionate Malawian who teaches us about her homeland through song, story, and symbols that define her identity. In this episode, your heart will be warmed by joyful laughter and your soul inspired by Jessie’s vision to empower women by championing shared health narratives as a powerful tool to improve health-care standards.

As part of a larger storytelling initiative—Culture, Community, and Connection—launched by the Barbara Geralds Institute for Storytelling and Social Impact, the 3C Podcast is an exploration into the diverse experiences and perspectives that shape our global community at Ohio University. Through conversations about language, music, food, dance, relationships, attire, and so much more, students share their stories of transition and discovery in a joyful and impactful manner. Each episode is designed to celebrate and empower international students by amplifying their voices and connecting them with broader audiences, offering listeners the opportunity to learn and leave inspired.
