This episode is the first of our two episodes where young women, globally, are sharing their views on how they think about leadership. Olivia Grobocopatel, Temilade Salami, Enaya Noor Mian, Karimot Odebode and Meenakshi Arundhati Banerjee are some of our fantastic young women to be interviewed.
Enaya Noor Mian says its “very very hard”, Olivia Grobocopatel that its “about being clear and optimistic, even in a complex and frightening world”, Temilade Salami joyfully urges us to “just get on with it, because we don’t seek validation any more”, Sara Khan asks how to “balance empathy with getting the job done”, Karimot Odebode calls for “sisterhood” and Meenaksi Arundhati Banerjee unpicks the intricacies and complexities of “privilege”.
Different views held by different women across the Global South. Meena urges Women Emerging to ‘normalise’ leadership. Noor says “no don’t do that, it is something to aspire to and take pride in. But EMPATHY and PRIVILEGE are words used commonly by all.
