S3-Ep13: Emerging Leaders Changing The World

Guests: Rebeca Gyumi & Yasmine Hasnaoiu

In 2017, Rebeca won the International Visiting Leaders Alumni Award for Innovation and Social Change. Rebeca petitioned the Tanzania High Court that ruled that the Marriage Act – which allowed girls as young as 14 to be married – was unconstitutional. Yasmine Hasnaoui is an expert on conflict resolution with a focus on sub-Saharan conflict. Both are graduates of the US Department of state International Visitors Leadership Program (IVLP) for young leaders. This show focuses on the impact both women have made in their countries and internationally. They discuss their leadership journeys, both coming from humble backgrounds. They also talk about their recent accomplishments and goals. Both women are making a significant impact within their countries and also impacting international relations. They are an inspiration to young leaders who aspire to change the world and to experienced leaders as a reminder of what happens when we mentor and nurture the next generation of leaders.
