Finding your purpose doesn't always come from thinking, sometimes it comes from showing up, serving, and connecting with others.In this final episode of the year, I'm sharing my recent trip to Kenya and how I became involved with the Little People of Africa Foundation — an experience that completely reshaped how I see purpose, service, and community.I was invited to help with structure and support, but what unfolded touched my heart far beyond anything administrative.I take you with me to Nairobi as we marched on Dwarf Awareness Day — more than 200 little people proudly carrying signs, chanting, singing, and standing for dignity, inclusion, and medical support. You'll hear about the government leaders who joined us, the unity in the streets, and the moment I realized tears were streaming down my face because the joy and empowerment were unforgettable.I also share the quieter moments like visiting a family farm, witnessing generosity and simplicity, spending time in nature, and reconnecting with peace, gratitude, and meaning. This journey invited me to reflect on service, compassion, connection,  and what it truly means to say: we all matter.What You'll Learn:*❤️ Why finding purpose often begins through connection with others❤️ How serving your community restores belonging and emotional clarity❤️ Why serving others brings meaning when life feels heavy❤️ How to reconnect with yourself through compassion and shared humanity❤️ What walking in love teaches about purpose and peace❤️ How connection helps you rise above overwhelm and find clarity❤️ Why purpose is something you feel, not something you forceKey Moments 4:20 Finding purpose through serving your community 9:35 The Nairobi march and shared dignity 15:10 Finding purpose through connection and visibility 21:40 Simplicity, generosity, and happiness 28:05 Rest, reflection, and reconnecting with joy 34:30 Purpose of life through community and careServing others is not about having the answers or doing more.

On a cold February day in 1988, Julie Ward sets off on the journey of a lifetime from England, through Africa.

Coup de théâtre dans la Corne de l'Afrique. Pour la première fois, l'État sécessionniste du Somaliland est reconnu officiellement par un autre État, en l'occurrence, Israël. Pour le président de la République fédérale de Somalie Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, c'est un coup dur, car la nouvelle tombe juste après les élections locales qu'il a réussi à organiser, malgré la pression croissante des islamistes shebab. L'initiative d'Israël suscite beaucoup de réactions négatives. Mais va-t-elle rester isolée ? Matt Bryden est conseiller stratégique au centre de recherches Sahan Research. En ligne de Nairobi, il répond à Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : pourquoi les shebabs ont-ils réussi à regagner le terrain perdu depuis trois ans ? Matt Bryden : Il y a trois ans, l'offensive contre les Shebabs était menée par les milices de clans qui voulaient se libérer d'Al-Shabab, et ils ont reçu un appui du gouvernement fédéral ainsi que des Américains. Mais les milices de clans sont capables de se battre seulement dans le territoire de leur clan. Donc, dès qu'ils avaient libéré leur propre territoire, ils ne pouvaient pas avancer plus loin. Et donc l'offensive, c'était vraiment une collection de petites offensives, des milices de clans, mais ce n'était pas une opération coordonnée cohérente. Et aujourd'hui, est-ce que ces milices claniques se sont alliées avec les Shebabs contre le gouvernement ? Non, la plupart sont toujours contre les shebabs, surtout dans la région, là où ils se sont battus. Mais ils ne sont pas forcément alliés avec le gouvernement non plus. Et ça, c'est un autre grand problème pour le gouvernement fédéral, c'est que le gouvernement se bat pas simplement contre les Shebabs, mais aussi contre certaines des provinces, les régions de la Somalie qui eux-mêmes se battent contre Al-Shabab. Donc le gouvernement Mogadiscio ne contrôle à la limite que 15 % du territoire de la Somalie. Et ça, c'est généreux. Mais tout de même, ces premières élections sans attentats, est-ce que ce n'est pas un succès pour le président Hassan Mahamoud ? Tout à fait. Il y avait du monde dans certains centres ou des lieux de vote, ça c'est sûr. Mais la Somalie est un pays de clans et donc les clans qui soutiennent le gouvernement, leurs membres votent. Mais d'autres clans, et donc les clans qui soutiennent l'opposition, ne se sont pas présentés pour voter. Donc, l'élection risque d'approfondir les divisions entre les clans et les régions de la Somalie. Ceux qui soutiennent le gouvernement, qui sont minoritaires actuellement, et les autres, les clans et les régions qui s'y opposent. Le président somalien Hassan Sheikh Mohammed était rayonnant jeudi lors de ces élections. Mais le lendemain, il a appris une très mauvaise nouvelle. Pour la première fois, l'État sécessionniste du Somaliland a été reconnu officiellement par un autre État, en l'occurrence Israël. Est-ce que c'est une surprise pour vous ? Pour la Somalie, sûrement. C'est une surprise qui n'est pas du tout bienvenue. D'abord parce que le Somaliland, maintenant, risque de recevoir non seulement la reconnaissance d'Israël, mais d'autres pays derrière. Parce que c'est sûr que ce qu'Israël a fait n'est pas une initiative isolée, mais ça a été coordonné avec d'autres États en Afrique et aussi quelques pays arabes, et probablement les États-Unis aussi. Vous dites que d'autres pays pourraient suivre, mais il y a deux ans, l'Éthiopie avait failli reconnaître l'indépendance du Somaliland. Finalement, elle y avait renoncé sous la pression de la Somalie et de la Turquie. Oui, tout à fait. Mais l'initiative de l'Éthiopie n'était pas coordonnée avec d'autres États et ça a été une déclaration sans la reconnaissance. Maintenant, l'Israël a officiellement reconnu le Somaliland. Et d'après ce que j'entends des diplomates dans la région, ça fait des mois, peut-être plus qu'un an, qu'Israël et d'autres pays ont coordonné cette décision pour qu'Israël ne soit pas seul et qu'il y ait d'autres pays derrière, dans les semaines et les mois à venir pour reconnaître le Somaliland. Les Israéliens laissent entendre que cette reconnaissance du Somaliland est dans l'esprit des accords d'Abraham, par lesquels Israël a normalisé ses relations avec notamment les Émirats arabes unis et le Maroc. Voulez-vous dire que les Américains sont peut-être derrière ? Oui tout à fait. Les Américains, surtout depuis l'élection du président Trump. Ils ont signalé qu'ils sont très frustrés avec la situation en Somalie, qu'ils ont dépensé des milliards de dollars pour la sécurité de ce pays et qu'en fait la situation est pire qu'avant. Donc, les Américains commencent à travailler directement avec les régions de Dublin et de Puntland pour se battre contre Al-Shabab et aussi l'État islamique, qui était très actif dans la région nord-est du Puntland. Et les relations avec le Somaliland sont en croissance. Le général Anderson d'Africom était là il y a quelques mois. Donc, je crois que c'est assez clair que les Américains voient le Somaliland comme un partenaire potentiel pour sécuriser les routes maritimes dans le golfe d'Aden et la mer Rouge, aussi bien que se battre contre les mouvements extrémistes dans la Corne de l'Afrique.

Season's Greetings Glocal Citizens! I met this week's guest, Derrick N. Ashong, earlier this year in Nairobi at the Charter Cities Institute, 2025 New Cities Summit (https://youtu.be/d9XUzdxKmzo?si=FbITjI8Git8kEb9Q). At the summit, we connected as storytellers that share Ghanaian heritage and formative years spent in Brooklyn, New York. In a glocal citizenship twist, we later came to find that we met virtually years prior through mutual connections in the media and arts spaces. Derrick's work leverages his international upbringing which informs his company's vision for Turning Culture into Currency for creators and fans worldwide. He does this as founder and CEO of TBTM, a media fintech that uses content to onboard global audiences to inclusive financial solutions, with partners like Mastercard. While still a student at Harvard, he played a supporting role in Steven Spielberg's Amistad, and went on to top charts with his band, winning a Billboard Songwriting Award. As a host and producer, he pioneered multi-platform interactive content with Oprah Winfrey, and major media platforms including ABC-Disney and Univision, earning three Emmy nods and a Royal Television Society Award. His original Take Back the Mic television series has won seven major international awards and achieved 1.1 Billion media impressions worldwide. He has delivered electrifying speeches on issues of Youth Culture and Tech for UK Parliament, the United Nations, and the world's most elite business schools, including Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Wharton, Cambridge and London School of Economics. He has interviewed celebrities and global luminaries ranging from Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Kofi Annan, to Zoe Saldaña, Kevin Hart and Steven Wozniak, among others. Most recently, he has delivered keynote speeches for Mastercard, Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and Kigali, as well as SuperReturn Africa--the continent's top investment forum. In this conversation we get to know even more about the next phase of Derrick's vision for flipping the script on creative industry infrastructure in Africa. #Listenandlearn more!

Katika taarifa yake, Naibu Msemaji wa Umoja wa Mataifa, Farhan Haq, amesema hali imefikia kiwango cha hatari, akionya: “Familia zinazoishi kwa njaa sasa zinagawana chakula chao cha mwisho na watu waliokimbia makazi. Hii ni dharura inayovuka mipaka.” UN inazitaka pande zote kusitisha mapigano mara moja na kuruhusu misaada kufika kwa walio hatarini.Mkutano wa kikao cha 7 wa Baraza La Mazingira la Umoja wa Mataifa UNE-7 unaeelekea ukingoni jijini Nairobi Kenya na miongoni mwa washiriki ni kijana mwanaharakati wa mazingira kutoka asasi ya Umoja wa Mataifa YUNA nchini Tanzania Ally MwamzoraNa leo Umoja wa Mataifa unaadhimisha Siku ya Kimataifa ya Milima, ukisisitiza umuhimu wa milima kama “kitovu cha maji ya dunia.”  Kwa mujibu wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la chakula na kilimo FAO, takriban asilimia 70 ya maji safi ya Dunia yamehifadhiwa kama theluji au barafu, yakitoa mito inayosambaza maji ya kunywa, kilimo, viwanda, na umeme wa maji na takriban watu bilioni mbili, ikiwa ni pamoja na jamii nyingi za asili, wanategemea maji ya milima kwa mahitaji yao ya kila siku, maisha, na tamaduni zao.

Kevin and Sylvia launched iRide Arusha in July 2024, offering motorcycle tours and rentals in Tanzania. Within 18 months they scaled across four East African cities through a franchise model called iRide Africa, with partners operating in Rwanda, Nairobi, and Mombasa. The franchise structure allows riders to cross borders and book multi-country tours.The episode covers operational realities: importing equipment across borders, navigating tourism regulations, managing multi-country payment processing, and running rentals and guided tours as two distinct businesses with different customer profiles and sales cycles. Kevin and Sylvia share how they find customers through motorcycle clubs, price for premium buyers, and use immediate response times as a competitive advantage.TOP 10 TAKEAWAYS1. Test adjacent niches when your market is saturatedRather than launch another safari company in an oversaturated market, Kevin and Sylvia identified motorcycle touring as an underserved adventure niche in East Africa. Consider what adjacent experiences your destination supports that competitors aren't offering.2. Franchise models can scale faster than going soloWithin 18 months, iRide expanded across four East African cities through franchise partnerships. Partners share mechanics, bikes, marketing resources, and customer referrals. This creates a network effect where riders can start in one country and end in another, adding value no single operator could deliver alone.3. Target communities, not just individualsKevin reaches out directly to motorcycle clubs in major US cities. One Chicago BMW Riders club is bringing eight people in February. Booking one club creates the revenue of eight individual customers with a fraction of the acquisition cost. Find the clubs, associations, or communities that match your experience type.4. Customer service is a competitive advantage in developing marketsTheir immediate response times and willingness to hop on Zoom calls builds trust fast, especially for customers who've never been to Africa.5. Platform diversification requires testing, not guessingiRide is on Get Your Guide, Viator, Klook, WeTravel, and fielding Facebook messages, but hasn't found the magic channel yet. Test widely, track what converts, double down there.6. Price for the experience you're actually delivering, not your self-doubtKevin admits they severely underpriced at launch. Beginner business owners often can't see their own value clearly. If you're offering wow moments and authentic connections, charge accordingly.7. Guided vs. rental requires different marketing and operationsRental customers (experienced, self-sufficient, quick decision makers) need less hand-holding than guided tour customers (more questions, longer planning cycles, higher price points). These are functionally two different businesses with different messaging, pricing, and customer profiles.8. Gross revenue and net income are very differentVehicle maintenance, cross-border parts sourcing, and insurance eat into margins constantly. Build cash reserves and expect hidden costs, especially in asset-heavy businesses.9. Local language fluency unlocks competitive advantagesSylvia's Swahili fluency helped navigate Interpol holds on imported bikes, handle tourism police complaints from competitors, and build long-term supplier relationships. Language access isn't just customer-facing—it's operational power.10. Differentiation isn't just what you do, it's how guests connectGuests consistently cite the vastness of the landscape and local interactions (like lunch with Sylvia's 88-year-old farming grandmother) as their standout memories. Design for connection points your format uniquely enables.

We're back to Africa! Last month we kicked off a little Kenyan series on ​3 Books​ and today I'm thrilled to share another chapter recorded in the heart of pulsing downtown Nairobi in the country's top bookstore. I landed after an overnight flight and immediately filled my belly with fresh samosas, pakoras, curried goat tripe, and fresh tamarind juice ... for breakfast! ... and then, after seeing the city I hopped into a car with Perlexy, who works with our guest in Chapter 104 and current Kenyan Presidential nominee ​Boniface Mwangi​, and drove downtown... We parked the car and met up with Boniface and his son before walking up together to the second floor of a busy plaza. Tucked inside was a 1000-square-foot bookshop that happens to be one of the most influential literary hubs in the country: ​Nuria Bookstore​. That's where I met Bulle (pronounced "Boo-lay") who is of Somalian descent and born 700km north of Nairobi where he was largely raised by his wise camel-herding grandmother (who is 101 today!). Bulle took a business path early in life but as we'll hear his plans changed and now he runs what many consider the most successful bookstore in Kenya and is a huge champion and evangelist for African authors and African literature. Let's hang out upstairs in the Nairobi bookshop and talk about amplifying African voices, growing up among camels, the winding path of purpose, Bulle's 3 most formative books, and so much more … Let's flip the page to Chapter 155 now …

A rare conversation with Egypt's Foreign Minister about the Sudan War and the tensions with Ethiopia over the river Nile, and Focus on Africa moves its hub from London to Nairobi. Egypt's Foreign Minister Dr Badr Abdelatty has denied that his country is supporting the Sudanese Armed Forces in the war against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
