Lead Like A Feminist
Imara- Bold and Strong
In Episode 3 of the Lead Like A Feminist podcast we speak to Isabella Akiteng, an experienced civil society leader in Uganda, currently part of the team at the Forum for Women in Democracy in Uganda, supporting the building of the Imara Women’s Centre.
Imara is a Swahili word that means bold and strong.
Isabella shares her challenges reconciling her Christian and Feminist identities and the importance of finding the inner strength to be boldly and unapologetically yourself. She also explores the core principles of African Feminism and what they mean for individuals and institutions that want to Lead Like Feminists.
