Learning Journeys - this episode engages 3 African professionals, 2 of whom are Ph.D. candidates: Zinhle Mkhabela, a Measurement, and Evaluation practitioner in South Africa, Kwabena Boateng, a collaborator on Pan-African education ecosystems in the United States, and Fauzia Issaka, an international development consultant & doctoral student in the United Kingdom.

We get to hear their perspectives on the challenges the pandemic has presented in their own academic lives - as well their students; pain-points in digital access on educational systems; and the opportunities in future-casting post-COVID educational journeys that highlight solutions among likely allies. With cross-collaborative programs with universities on the African continent and Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the United States of America as a primary example. While you listen to this edition, you might as well grab a cup, lean back, and lean-in to their intriguing insights.
