Are you living authentically? Are you living in line with your thoughts, dreams, beliefs and goals? Christabell and Chulu have an animated conversation about what it means to be true to yourself. Gift this conversation to any young woman you know.  This is the type of talk I wish I heard when I was in my twenty somethings. 

 

We covered:

Living Authentically

Accepting multiple truths

Definition of Home

Africans ownership of our stories and history

Finding your tribe

Code Switching

 

Christabell describes herself as a problem-solver, a perpetual learner, and a little bit of a contrarian, with a healthy dose of curiosity and optimism. She is driven by the desire to creating lasting impact, a commitment to excellence, and a keen interest in developing the capacity of others.

 

Quote:

“There’s commonality in all of our humanity”

“Your truth doesn’t have to threaten my truth”

“Home is the place I feel most accepted and that I can be myself and I can be loved just as I am”

“I had to find a way to redefine power in a way that allows Africa to exist”

“What if we looked at [code switching] as a super power”
