Greetings Glocal Citizens! As the season of academic studies begins in many institutions across parts of the world, including New York City where I have spent many years working with charter schools to open their doors to children and families, it's a flashback moment for my guest and me to the days when she was first granted a charter to begin her social enterpreneurship journey as a school leader and founder. Dr. Elaine Ruiz Lopez is the Founder and the Chief Executive Officer of the International Leadership Charter High School, a rigorous college prep charter high school in the Bronx, New York where over 95% of its scholars graduate within four years enrolling in the college of their choice. In 2024, she expanded her vision opening a middle school in 2024. Having worked in the field of education since 1980, over ths course of her career she has held various leadership positions in public schools and universities. In 2017, she was one of the recipients of the Distinguished Women Award (Mujeres Destacadas) presented by El Diario, the largest Spanish daily newspaper organization in the country. In 2022 as one of 100 Bronx Power Women. In 2023 she received the Educator of Excellence Award from the Black Latinx Asian Charter Coalition (BLACC). She is a founding member of the Latino Charter Leaders Roundtable and its current Chair. Her first book, The Fight for Equity in the Bronx: Changing Lives and Transforming Communities One Scholar at a Time was published last summer and stands as a testament to years of focusing her vision as a servant leader as well as the manifestation of generations of purpose driven living and adaptating to new shores, creating home in other lands.

From speed garage to Arabic pop, one hour of borderless club energy from the Saudi DJ and curator. "We're making history tonight," hollered the MC at the start of Nooriyah's London Boiler Room in 2022. Sat next to the decks was her baba (Arabic for father), dressed in traditional Saudi garb. He opened the one-hour performance by playing the oud, a Middle Eastern instrument similar to a lute. Surrounded by smiling faces and pumping arms, it's a picture of joy. The set was a turning point—and not just for Nooriyah's career. Scroll through the comments on YouTube and you'll find notes of endearment, gratitude and teary appreciation, proof of how powerful it was for people to see Middle Eastern music placed at the centre of contemporary club culture. This speaks to Nooriyah's MO. Born in Saudi Arabia, raised in Japan and now based in the UK, her musical vision reflects her global upbringing. But her style isn't eclecticism for eclecticism's sake—she's spoken about the importance of carving out space for underrepresented voices in dance music. Her RA Mix makes that mission audible. The result is a breathless hour: 47 tracks darting between speed garage, amapiano, Jersey club, Arabic pop edits and percussion-heavy workouts from Cairo to Accra. But don't mistake pace for carelessness: RA.1002 never feels rushed. Each switch is considered, revealing a knowledge of how global dance traditions can speak to one another. All in all, it's not only a celebration of her own heritage, but an invitation to imagine dance floors unconstrained by borders. @nooriyah Find the tracklist and interview at ra.co/podcast/1020.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week's interview was recorded while my guest and I were on the same time zone in Western Europe--she in Portugal and the UK for me. My guest, Serene Lewis Lyles spent most of her 30-year career making complex things simple. She was on the forefront of launching technologies that, today, are foundational to our lives including digital video recording (the predecessor to streaming content), the Internet of Things (now known as “Smart tech”), and high-design vape tech (much to her embarrassment). Fun fact, our paths crossed while we were both based in New York City in the aughts, and we share Colorado and Northern California as places we've also called home. After living and working in the States and the UK, she finished her career in San Francisco, as a Senior Director at Meta, leading the content design team behind Facebook and Instagram's billion-dollar ads business. At Meta, she was also a leader of the employee resource group Black@ Design and founder of the Black@ Content Design Leads group. Since retiring last year, She has now turned her experience of leading people in solving hard problems into a career coaching people through the challenging process of planning for retirement. Her super powers as a coach are being comfortable talking about money, being excited about other people's dreams, and creating systems that drive action. Where to find Serene?

Dead white people's clothes: How Ghana is dealing with its textile waste crisis

Ghana has been described as the fashion industry's dumping ground. Around 15 million second-hand garments arrive every week, making Ghana the world's largest importer of used clothing. Many of the garments are re-sold and re-purposed at Kantamanto Market in the capital Accra. But estimates suggest that 40% of these garments are too damaged to be sold or upcycled, so much of it ends up as waste on Ghana's beaches and lagoons. Young people are working to solve the problem. One organisation trying to address the environmental impact of fast fashion is The Or Foundation. We attend a beach clean-up led by Joseph Shaw Ayesu, an ecological research manager, to find out how discarded garments end up on the beach. Then Sammy Oteng, a community engagement manager, explains why Ghana imports so much second-hand clothing in the first place. And finally Nutifafa “Fafa” Mensah gives us a tour of Kantamanto Market, where imported textiles are upcycled and re-purposed to extend their lifespan. Ruth, an upcycler, discusses the difficulties she faces working with bales filled with synthetic and severely worn textiles.

Ghana: la résurrection du marché de la fripe de Kantamanto, à Accra

Afrique Économie

Kantamanto est l'un des plus grands marchés de vêtements de seconde main du monde. En grande partie ravagé par un incendie en janvier, ce véritable poumon économique de la capitale du Ghana, Accra, a commencé à reprendre vie après une reconstruction express. Ce mardi 26 août, une cérémonie célèbre sa résurrection, mais les quelque 30 000 commerçants, eux, ont repris le travail il y a déjà plusieurs mois. Pour trouver la boutique de Bismarck Oppong, il faut déambuler quelques minutes dans la myriade d'allées que compte le marché de Kantamanto, réparties sur quatre hectares de marché de plein air à Accra, la capitale du Ghana. Voilà 14 ans que le commerçant s'est spécialisé dans la vente de jeans de seconde main. Une affaire littéralement partie en fumée il y a huit mois, lors de l'incendie de janvier 2025. « Quand le drame est survenu, nous n'avons rien pu faire. Mais après le désastre, on a pu rassembler quelques ressources, histoire de ne pas repartir de zéro. Maintenant, on espère juste pouvoir améliorer notre situation », se souvient Bismarck Oppong. Plus de place mais moins de clients Plus de trois millions de dollars : c'est qu'a donné la fondation Or, une ONG qui travaille avec les commerçants de Kantamanto pour reconstruire le marché. Un travail titanesque réalisé en l'espace de deux à trois mois pour les échoppes. Les travaux sont toujours en cours pour l'électricité. De retour dans sa boutique, Bismarck Oppong est particulièrement satisfait du réaménagement des allées. « Je préfère largement l'agencement de ce marché comparé à l'ancien : les démarcations, par exemple. Avant, on n'avait pas beaucoup d'espace. Mais maintenant, on a beaucoup plus de place. Les tentures aussi, avant, elles étaient plus basses, mais on les a relevées », se réjouit-il. Un marché plus agréable et accessible mais qui attire cependant moins de clients. « Il y a moins de clients, parce qu'après qu'il a brûlé, ils ne savent pas que l'on a rouvert », constate Judith Djoka. Arrivée du Togo il y a sept ans pour travailler comme vendeuse de vestes et de vêtements professionnels, elle n'a jamais connu une affluence aussi faible. « C'est un peu compliqué, déplore-t-elle. On achète des produits, mais les clients n'achètent pas. On ne gagne pas comme avant. » La reconstruction en bois « n'est pas idéale » Pour la vendeuse, il faut impérativement faire de la publicité pour attirer, à nouveau, les clients à l'intérieur du marché – et ainsi pouvoir y écouler les 15 millions de vêtements d'occasion qui y arrivent chaque semaine. Une tâche qui incombe à la Kantamanto Obroniwawu Business Association (Koba), la nouvelle association des vendeurs de vêtements de seconde main de Kantamanto. Un autre enjeu demeure : celui de l'amélioration de la sécurité incendie. Si certains commerçants ont bel et bien reçu une formation ainsi que des extincteurs, les 5 000 boutiques du marché ont été reconstruites en bois. « C'est vrai que ce n'est pas l'idéal, reconnaît Manu Adutwum Atta, le secrétaire général de la Koba. C'est une mesure temporaire. Mais il s'agit du gagne-pain des gens ici. Si on avait attendu de construire des infrastructures permanentes, ils n'auraient pas pu survivre. Mais c'est quelque chose que nous avons en tête pour le futur. » L'association des commerçants se donne cinq ans pour réfléchir à une reconstruction du marché qui serait, elle, plus pérenne.
