S5 Ep 10 Sarah Nakintu Resilience and Renewal: A Mother's Story of Hope!05 Nov 202401:20:43

In an incredible journey that began in Uganda and eventually led her to the United States, Sarah pursued her graduate studies at the esteemed Columbia University. Throughout her career, she has taken on various roles in fashion, technology, venture capital, and international development, including a few positions at the United Nations. 

As the driving force behind Kintu New York, a sustainable brand she established to create high-quality, ethically made leather goods using fair trade practices, Sarah showcased her commitment to ethical business practices and quality craftsmanship. 

However, her most cherished role is that of a mother; after enduring six years of infertility, she welcomed her first child, a testament to her unwavering resilience and resolve. Notably, she recently introduced a free Women's Health Newsletter named Women's Health Paper, providing a nurturing space for women to discuss reproductive health and fertility concerns.

Sarah currently lives between New York City and Zurich, Switzerland.

Agnes Appiah is a multidisciplinary creative and entrepreneur. She is an outstanding emcee, voiceover artist, and spoken word artist. She hosts the Umami Conversations podcast and recently co-authored the book 55 Faces to raise awareness of women's role in social change and impact. Despite spending her first few decades in fear, she now uses her life experiences as a message of hope and triumph.

She is now a mother to a toddler and enjoys spending time in his presence as she learns about her new role as a mother.

S3 Ep 19 -Liza Sekaggya -Phenomenal Women Global27 Aug 202300:47:27

Liza Sekaggya is an international human rights lawyer who graduated from Nottingham University, UK, with a Master of Human Rights Law (LL.M).  She is the  Co-founder and CEO of Phenomenal Women Global (PWG). An ardent advocate for gender equality and women’s rights, especially for women of African descent, she co-founded this non-profit organization based in Geneva, Switzerland, and Uganda. PWG’s mission is to connect, advance, and empower women by providing leadership training, mentorship for women and girls, and support for professional development. PWG creates a safe space to discuss strategies for women advancing in leadership, career, and business and potential challenges faced, as well as eliminating discrimination against women and gender-based violence that stifles women’s progress. With this mission, we seek to promote women’s participation in decisions that affect their lives on national and global issues, as well as enable them to thrive in their given careers, professions, and businesses.

Liz's career path in human rights was profoundly influenced by the genocide that occurred in Rwanda, which caused an apparently visible influx of refugees in Uganda.  She subsequently joined the UN High Commissioner for Refugees as an intern at the beginning of her career to support their cause. She has worked for the United Nations for 17 years as a Human Rights Officer in different capacities in Geneva, Kenya, and Zimbabwe. She has worked with several NGOs, including Save the Children Norway in Uganda, as the Program Coordinator-Social Protection. She has experience in criminal litigation and worked with an NGO in New Orleans, Louisiana (USA), handling appeals cases of people on death row. She has worked with various organizations, providing legal support to child abuse victims, juvenile offenders, and refugees.

Liza was a visiting scholar at Harvard University Law School, where she researched the rights of persons with disabilities. She has also benefited from several leadership trainings, including the EMERGE leadership program for United Nations women leaders. She is a certified John Maxwell Leadership Coach and has coached and mentored women and men in leadership, business, and other areas. She attended Harvard Kennedy School and obtained an executive education certificate on Women and power and Havard Public Health schools, where she studied health and human rights.

S3 Ep10 Michelle Gardiner - Stepping into your Magic11 Jun 202300:44:36

Michelle Gardiner is the Founder and Director of The Aspire Series and 55 FACES. These are both a movement for women who are dedicated to pioneering social change and impact as well as a methodology in facilitating change work. 

Michelle firmly believes that with genuine opportunity, meaningful support and spaces where we can truly love, value and believe in ourselves, we are able to become so much bolder than we ever imagined. Michelle also believes that great aspirations must be matched with a great capacity to nurture ourselves, in order to create the sweet spot where female leaders blossom. The kind who are not only creating amazing things for themselves and for the world, there are also doing so in a way that sustains them.  

It is Michelle’s intention in creating The Aspire Series, that as women, we can become more connected and heart centred leaders, and use one another to become the best that we can be, for ourselves and the future women who model themselves on us. From this place, we can truly influence social change and shift the dynamic of both our local communities and global society. 

Michelle has spent over fifteen years working in the Australian Child Protection and community sectors, supporting children, young people and families through some of their most vulnerable life experiences. Through hearing many life stories, Michelle became most passionate about raising the aspirations of young people and women, which has greatly inspired her work with The Aspire Series. This passion parallels Michelle’s own experiences of working hard to define her own voice and to use this to build a life that she, too, is proud of. 

We are at a point in time where our stories, experiences and livelihoods account for so much more than we can imagine and we can not afford to see ourselves in any lesser light. Our stories truly are the gateway to enabling and facilitating so much of the change that we each wish to see in the world.

Michelle holds a Bachelors of Social and Community Welfare, Graduate Certificate in Mental Health Science (Child Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy), she is a Yoga Teacher (500 hours - Moksha Yoga Academy), a Certified Life Coach, and a background in individual and collective narrative work, leadership and empowerment program facilitation and trauma informed practice. Michelle is a published co-author, carries significant Non-For-Profit Board Member experience and is currently undertaking her Masters Degree in Narrative Therapy and Community Work at the Dulwich Centre and Melbourne University.

S3 Ep7 Ami Thakkar - Trailblazer and Prominent Voice07 May 202300:52:11

Ami Thakkar is a lawyer by trade, a freelance writer by trial, a podcaster by passion and a DJ when asked. After graduating as a Longhorn, she started off my career as an analyst at Enron. While applying to graduate schools, she worked on movie sets in Texas and then moved to Bombay to work in radio and media. 

A few years later, she graduated with a J.D. from DePaul University School of Law in Chicago and began her law career in New York City. Since then, She moved back to India, lived in Dubai, Dallas, Bentonville, CT, and currently back in Dallas. 

Between all the moves, she has worked as a writer for magazines (such as Vogue India, CN Traveler, OK! Middle East and D Magazine) an executive for non-profits (Walton Foundation) and start-ups (Exclusively.in), and a backup Bollywood dancer for Indian pop stars.

In 2017, Ami launched her own podcast called Tuckered Out with Ami Thakkar (Tuck-er), interviewing trailblazers, experts, and prominent voices from the South Asian diaspora. They talk about growing up brown, personal and professional journeys, and all those topics South Asians tend to shy away from.

Ami started her podcast because she was tuckered out from all the big moves due to her husband’s job, from being a mom of two, but mainly from determining her true calling. So as a first-generation South Asian born in the US, she decided to interview the diaspora of South Asian trailblazers around the world to hear how they figured it all out, to share the South Asian story, to highlight all the fantastic contributions the community is making in various industries, and to laugh. As much as possible.
