Adelle tells us her inspiring story, starting as a (struggling) poet before making her way to radio, and building the 3rd biggest show in the country before leaving once again to start a company and a podcast. Adelle is also actively involved in the protests in Kenya, in fact, she had just arrived from dodging police and teargas for the recording! She shares the story behind the reason for the protests and how Kenya’s youth are leading the charge. What an inspiring episode, enjoy!
