Join us for an inspiring conversation on the Girl Up Podcast as we celebrate Women in Sports from an African Perspective. Our guests' former Brave Gladiators front-lady and qualified Namibia Football Association (NFA) instructor Salome Iyambo, Joviita Kandjumbwa sportscaster and Chimwemwe Guta, athlete, soccer player and Girl Up Malawi leader share their experiences and insights on the challenges and opportunities that women face in the sports industry in Africa, and how the impact of successful women athletes in Africa serve as role models and inspirations for future generations. We also discuss the importance of access to education and training for girls and women who want to pursue a career in sports, as well as the role of media and technology in promoting women in sports in Africa.

In this Women's Month special, we are joined by a group of bright and ambitious young women from Zambia, Nigeria, and Namibia. These future leaders share their perspectives on the progress women have made in taking up leadership roles in STEM and other traditionally male-dominated fields, as well as the challenges that still need to be overcome. Our guests discuss how women can support each other in their efforts to break through the glass ceiling and the policies and initiatives needed to encourage more women to pursue leadership roles. They also share their personal experiences and insights on how to ensure that women in leadership positions are not subject to gender-based discrimination or harassment. Join us for an enlightening and inspiring conversation with these dynamic young women who are shaping the future of leadership in Africa and beyond!
