    Her Media Diary Episode 21: "Inspiring Women Through Visibility" With Prof Nancy Booker

    Professor Nancy Booker is an Associate Professor and the Dean at the Graduate School of Media and Communications, The Aga Khan University, Kenya.
    Her story speaks to women and media scholars who understand the need to show up regardless of how inconvenient it might be, just to ensure that they are seen and heard by people who might just need their presence as an assurance that it is actually possible for women.
    She suggests the concept of culturally relevant mentorship as one of the things that need to be done to help women occupy leadership positions in academia and other areas or levels of life.
