    Women's Rights | The Forgotten Women of History | Women who shaped Destiny

    In this episode, we remember the women history tried to forget. From Fatima al-Fihri, who founded the world’s first university, to Yaa Asantewaa and Muthoni wa Kirima, who led resistance against empire—these stories challenge the silence that surrounds women’s contributions to education, liberation, and legacy. I also share the story of my relationship with my grandmother, a matriarch whose wisdom shaped generations despite never appearing in official records. Through personal reflection, historical storytelling, and a call to remembrance, this episode explores how forgetting is a form of injustice—and how remembering becomes an act of resistance, restoration, and love.

    Women's Rights | Women is Space Exploration | Space Tourism

    Episode 10 – Women in Space Exploration From Valentina Tereshkova’s historic solo flight in 1963 this episode traces the bold journey of women who’ve defied gravity—and gender norms—to claim their place among the stars. I explore the untold stories behind the headlines: the mathematicians who mapped the cosmos from the ground, the astronauts who led missions in orbit. This is more than a history lesson—it’s a call to imagine a future where space belongs to everyone. Featuring reflections on resilience, representation, and the power of daringWomen must continue to fight for representation in areas where they believe they belong; space exploration is no exception.

    Women's Rights | Reproductive Rights -- Whose Freedoms Is It Anyway?

    Episode 9 – Reproductive Rights: Whose Freedom Is It Really? In this powerful episode, I confront the hidden trauma behind abortion and the myth of reproductive freedom. From the tragic story of a young woman who gave birth alone in a dorm room, to the dark economics of the abortion industry, I ask: who really benefits when women are pressured to end pregnancies they didn’t choose? I explore reproductive coercion, the emotional toll of abortion pills, and the silence surrounding male accountability. But I also offer hope—compassionate alternatives for young mothers, justice-centered policy visions, and a call to reclaim the womb as sacred ground. This is not just a critique. It’s restoration.

    The Office isn't neutral -- Women's Rights at work and Sexual Harassment Protections

    Sexual harassment at work isn’t just about inappropriate behaviour—it’s about power, silence, and the fight for dignity. In Episode 8, I unpack the laws meant to protect us, the cultures that still fail us, and the voices that refuse to be silenced. From landmark cases to lived experience, we explore how women—especially those at the margins—navigate harassment, resistance, and hope. Because justice at work shouldn’t be a privilege. It should be a promise

    Women's Rights | Arming Women for Male-Dominated Spaces -- From Truth to Survival Economic Independence | The cost of Courage | Global Voices under Fire

    What does it take for women to stand firm in spaces not built for their survival? In this episode of What About Me, I take you from rural Uganda to the corridors of European power, uncovering how economic independence, journalistic courage, and gendered design shape women’s agency. We honour the legacy of Daphne Caruana Galizia, spotlight Caroline Muscat’s fearless pursuit of truth, and reveal the quiet erasure of female reporters under pressure. From financial literacy to legal awareness, from sports car seats to courtroom analysis, this episode asks: what happens when women reclaim both the mic and the blueprint?
