From Resistance to Reign: The Untold Power of African Women

Loading player...
This special edition of Winning Women Wednesday with Katie Mohamed and Sam is more than a moment — it’s a movement. In honour of Pan-African Women’s Day, we take a powerful journey through the untold stories of African women who’ve shaped the continent — from resistance to leadership, from rural midwives to global influencers.
Katie shares the deep historical roots of the Pan-African Women’s Organization (PAWO), founded in 1962, and shines a light on trailblazing women like Josina Machel, Wangari Maathai, and Mama Sara. With reflections on legacy, freedom, and the collective responsibility we carry, this episode is a heartfelt tribute to the women who hold up families, nations, and futures.

Whether you're an ally or a woman building her own influence equation, this conversation will leave you inspired to honour the past — and shape the future. 🌍💫
