Building an Organisation with a Soul

In this episode of the Radical Hope podcast, I speak with Crystal Simeoni, founder and executive director of NAWI Africa, about her journey from studying in Europe to leading a disruptive, values-driven organisation that’s breaking new ground at the intersection of macroeconomics and gender justice in Africa.

We talked about building an organisation with a soul, maintaining integrity in personal and professional values, economic injustice and the need for a feminist, care-focused approach to African economic policies.
