Erin Bagniewski left a corporate consulting job after 12 years to find more meaning in her profession. The decision led her to Zambia, where she served as a volunteer teacher. She followed that up with time in Uganda assisting people in gaining access to quality healthcare. Since then, she has become the Executive Director of Africa Strong, an organization created to empower and educate the people of Uganda and across sub-Saharan Africa. Erin shares what she learned from the students in Zambia and the connections she made. Erin also talks about the biggest American misconception about the people of Africa and the incredible potential and global influence people of the content possess. She concludes the episode with what it was like to go to high school with Todd and her most poignant memory of him. (Spoiler alert: it involves Todd doing something stupid.)
