The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 잠비아 청소년 지원| The One with Helen Leale-Green - Empowering Zambia's Youth and Transforming Education: Episode 12 (2023)

In this week's podcast episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Ms. Helen Leale Greene, an inspiring individual dedicated to educational work in Zambia. I initially met Helen during a panel discussion on education in Africa, where her passion for the subject was evident. After the discussion, I approached Helen and invited her to feature on my podcast, leading to this episode.

Helen is the founder and CEO of an impactful charity called Our Moon, which focuses on empowering bright but financially disadvantaged young Zambians. She also serves on the executive committee of HALI Access Network. Her mission is to ensure equitable access to education and university opportunities for young Africans, enabling them to reach their full academic potential and become catalysts for positive change in the continent. Currently residing in the UK with her husband and dog, Helen is a proud mother of three grown sons.

During our conversation, Helen shared insights into her early career, her decision to switch paths, and the remarkable achievements of her organization thus far. As an African, I deeply appreciate the significance of Helen's work in helping underprivileged youth access university education and providing them with essential guidance and support. I am genuinely excited to witness her continued growth and impact.

Listen to this episode to hear about Helen's inspiring journey and learn more about her incredible work to transform lives through education.

Thank you for your continued support, and stay tuned for more engaging episodes.

It’s Black History Month on this side of the pond. Though we get the shortest month in the year we gon’ make it loud and long. And what better way to do this than having a chat with a Nigerian who’s passionate about pan-African relationships and has made it her life work to close the social distance between our cousins (Blacks abroad) and us? I chatted with Ms. Kemi Seriki of the Pánsá Pánsá Forum, a Nigerian immigrant of Yoruba ethnic diversity.

We talked about life in the diaspora, staying connected to the Motherland, negotiating national, ethnic, and racial identities as Black immigrants, improving race relations with native-born Blacks and other communities, and so much more.
