    Episode 4 || Ile ya Health, Leadership, Youth and Vying as an Independent Candidate (With Njambi Koikai)

    What is it running as a young woman and an independent candidate? We had to get the Fyah Mummah herself, Njambi Koikai, in the studio with our Stripped Down Podcast host, Joseph Styles, to discuss this, health, and so much more. Not trying to brag but it is a must-listen.  What are we Jamming to this week? After listening to this episode, we immediately had to put on "Power" by Muthoni Drummer Queen. We have another repeat offender on the playlist, but as we think about leadership, youth and the upcoming elections, let's remember the power that our vote and voices have.

    Episode 6 || Ile Ya Human Rights Day (With Li Fung)

    Could we have a Human Rights podcast without including an episode on Human Rights? It didn't seem right to us either. For Human Rights Day, we talk to Li Fung, the Senior Human Rights Advisor to the UN Resident Coordinator in Kenya, about Human Rights in a pandemic and the importance of commemorating Human Rights Day.  What are we Jamming to this week? We’re glad you asked! This week we love Redemption Song by Bob Marley & The Wailers. "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery.  None but ourselves can free our minds. " Those lyrics ring true today as they did in 1980 when this song was released. Real quick, before you go. You can join Amnesty as a member here!
