Today on Sojourner Truth: We bring you voices of women from the Continent. Women from Africans Rising hosted a webinar entitled, "Africa's Post COVID-19 Economic Recovery: A Feminist Perspective." Africans Rising is a grassroots movement based on the Continent of people and organizations working for peace, justice and dignity. The women gave an analysis of the failure of the liberal economic model, including a critique of imposed capitalist approaches to African economies. They said for capitalism to be a success, someone has to suffer. In their wide-ranging discussion, they spoke about how grassroots women in largely unpaid care and domestic labor subsidize African economies and how in turn, Africa subsidies the global economy. They describe what they call "climate imperialism" and refer to what they call "reproduction debt" for domestic work and the need for a care economy. Topics included policies of multi-lateral financial institutions on women in Africa. They discussed restitution, reparations and eugenics capitalism. They spoke about the significance of Africa, the murder of George Floyd, how African nations responded to Floyd's murder and the importance of Pan Africanism. Today, we bring you Part 1 of a two-part series, the voices of women based in Africa. You will hear perspectives and sharp analysis from Coumba Toure, Coordinator for Africans Rising in Senegal, Amina Mama, a Nigerian-British professor and editor of Feminist Africa, Nancy Kachingwe, a freelance consultant based in Zimbabwe specializing in women's rights, and Lebohang Liepollo Pheko, Steering Committee Member of South African Women in Dialogue.

On today's show we explore the topic of women in leadership. Women are unfortunately still lacking in the leadership spaces in Africa and the world as a whole. What needs to be done to put us as women in more leadership positions. In the ABCs we look at the skills needed for women to be more successful leaders. Some leaders are born but the majority of leaders in the workplace today are made. Becoming a successful leader requires deliberate action and for you to look at what skills you can develop and grow. We then look at the importance of mentoring and getting mentorship for women. We need someone to talk to, a guide and someone who can push us in the right direction career-wise and the significance of this is highlighted in the show. We are joined over the phone by Dr Erieka Benette who is part of the team organizing the Africa Women of Excellence awards in South Africa and she shares the importance of having more women in leadership. Finally in our tech and trends Kudzai gives a list of online leadership courses available for women.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ijere-africa/support
