S03 #183 IN THE ROOM with Health Diplomat to SA Presidency | Lwazi Manzi

Loading player...
If you consider yourself a change agent, you are a politician.

What happens when women step into the room where power, policy, and pressure collide?

In this exclusive IN THE ROOM interview, Conscious LeadHERS Founder Carmen Murray sits down with Dr. Lwazi Manzi, Health Diplomat to the Presidency of South Africa, for a rare, unfiltered conversation on politics, diplomacy, power, and purpose.

From behind-the-scenes moments during COVID-19 and global vaccine negotiations, to the future of AI, African innovation, and political literacy, this episode challenges everything we think we know about leadership. It asks the uncomfortable questions: Are you already a politician if you call yourself a change agent? What does diplomacy really require? And who truly holds political power?

Raw, intelligent, and deeply human, this conversation reframes politics not as something to avoid, but as a skill women must master if they want to shape the future.
