Change Voices is a weekly podcast exploring the challenges, successes and lessons of leadership through the experiences of diverse women leaders across Africa and beyond.

Hosted by frayintermedia CEO Paula Fray, we want the Change Voices podcast to contribute to changing and challenging the perceptions about who leads and who speaks about leadership.

Our inaugural guest is writer Sisonke Msimang, who is an acclaimed columnist and author of the autobiographical “Always Another Country” as well as the recently published “The Resurrection of Winnie Mandela”. She speaks about her struggles of a life in exile - transporting the reader to her childhood in Zambia and Kenya, her studies in North America and her return to contemporary South Africa with all its complexities and contradictions. A bold voice focused on race, gender and democracy, she has written for a range of international publications.

For this reason, she’s the ideal person to talk to us today about amplifying our voices, and the power and importance of speaking out, and speaking up.

You can find more information about the work we do and the @changevoices podcast on our website, frayintermedia.com or on our social media platforms @frayintermedia on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn, where our frayintermedia teams involved in the production of this podcast will be posting regular updates and sharing the lessons as we go along.

If you have any specific women in mind that you’d like to hear from or if you want to support our endeavour, please contact Paula directly at [email protected] or direct message her on social media.
