It is already the end of January, and we hope you had a great start to the New Year.
Thank you for being part of the Narratives of Purpose community and joining our newsletter. We have been on a break for the last couple of months, since the end of season two. We are excited to connect again with you, to share some news and previews of what we have been working on for 2022.
GUEST HIGHLIGHTS
As we celebrated our one year anniversary in December, we also posted the list of our TOP 5 most streamed episodes since launching the podcast.
These changemakers continue to lead. Today we want to share with you what some of these Top 5 guests, or the organisations they are part of, have been up to since their appearance on our show.
Lucy Antrobus joined Aequaland, a start-up that was also featured on the podcast (episode 14), as co-founder. Aequaland has now partnered with Microsoft for StartUps to take inclusion in gaming to the next level, and drive the digital education revolution.
Civitas Maxima, the NGO whose artistic director is Jean-Philippe Kalonji, was recently portrayed with its founder, attorney Alain Werner, in the renowned French Newspaper Le Monde. This article comes after 10 years of activity, including financing the Global Justice Research Project.
ShEquity, founded by Pauline Koelbl, was awarded the "Most Impactful Women Empowerment Initiative for 2021" by Women in Tech Africa. This recognition came after just one year of being in operation, but already invested in 6 female-led businesses which collectively impacted 13.5 Million people.
Uzuri K&Y, co-founded by Kevine Kagirimpundu, was the recipient of the Tommy Hilfiger Fashion Frontier Award - a dedicated global program designed to find and support ideas that lead to a more inclusive fashion landscape.
Listen again to these conversations on our homepage or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also catch up on any other episode you might have missed before season three begins in March!
We are delighted to give you a sneak peek into the themes and some of the guests for the next episodes on season three.
From Ireland to Hong Kong via Switzerland, Sweden, and India, our guests will share their journeys and what their organisations are doing in the areas of Education, Equity & Inclusion, Youth Empowerment, Dialogue & Awareness.
A few of these guests are pictured above (left to right, and top to bottom): Mamobo Ogoro, Till Kraemer, Piera Marongiu, Ismail Eleburuike, Gunjan Aggarwal, Akim Tejan Cole, and Kashish Aggarwal.
More to come in our next newsletters.
We are thrilled to share that our next Social Impact Virtual Forum will focus on Dialogue. We'll speak with founders who enable powerful conversations to raise awareness on various social issues.
Our virtual forum series give you the opportunity to directly exchange with several podcast guests around one topic, through online events. Your participation to each event supports our mission to amplify social impact and support social enterprises, as we donate a great portion of your attendance fee to a selected initiative.
Head to our homepage to find out which organisation was the beneficiary of our inaugural event in November 2021.
We'll announce the date and speakers of our first virtual forum of 2022 very soon, so stay tuned.
