The Get InPowered Podcast: Fostering Community through Shared Stories

The Get InPowered Podcast by Inclusivus is about individuals, innovators, advocates, activists, and agents of social change across sectors and industries who are working to transform their communities and the world at large. In each episode, we travel with host Judithe Registre to a different location and talk with InPowered women and men whose stories and work are inspiring change and action and making a transformative impact in their communities. These are people who, through their own personal experiences and a gender equity lens, are working to create more inclusive and progressive communities.

Mary Ann Clements (formerly Mary Ann Mhina) has devoted her life to making an impact and like many change-making professionals, she got burnt out in the process. She wants all of us to be able to do this work and create this impact, sustainably, without costing us our wellbeing — and she believes it can be done.

The wellbeing of humanity and the ways we care for ourselves and one another — in our workplaces, in our communities, and in our personal lives — is her work and the passions of her heart.

She joins Judithe in this episode to discuss her work, her career and the organization she now leads, https://jijaze.com

We spend this episode considering and reassessing the contributions that Africa (and the Congo specifically) have made to the global “village” as discussed by Mvemba Dizolele, a writer, foreign policy analyst, and independent journalist who is also the author of the forthcoming biography: Mobutu: the Rise and Fall of the Leopard King (Random House UK).

If you haven't heard last week's episode with this brilliant scholar, please do so now! And let us know what YOU think about "Black Panther" Dizolele's work and the African Diaspora's place in the collective Western Imagination.

We spend this episode considering and reassessing the contributions that Africa (and the Congo specifically) have made to the global “village” with Mvemba Dizolele, a writer, foreign policy analyst, and independent journalist who is also the author of the forthcoming biography: Mobutu: the Rise and Fall of the Leopard King (Random House UK).

In the wake of “Black Panther”’s mainstream success globally, many are asking questions like “What would Africa look like without colonization?” “What would the Western world look like without slavery?”, but as Mvemba discusses with Judithe, there are members of the African diaspora that didn’t grow up in the context of colonization and do see the contributions and importance of Africa in the development of the modern industrialized world.

“We don’t reclaim them (these stories) to be in a fight with the West. But we reclaim them to put things back where they belong!” - Mvemba Dizolele
