Walter and Macon talk to three of the co-founders of Nigeria's Feminist Coalition, which has taken a lead role driving many of the country's largest social movements, from the #EndSARS protests against police brutality to #ArewaMeToo, which has put a spotlight on domestic abuse in the country. Hear how they're using cryptocurrency to fundraise, engaging Nigeria's diaspora to put international pressure on the government, using technology to organize, and changing the way that Nigerians see their role in society. Walter and Macon conclude with takeaways for policymakers in the West. 

Guests include: 

  • Odun Eweniyi, Feminist Coalition Co-Founder and COO of Piggybank, a fintech startup 
  • Laila Johnson-Salami, Feminist Coalition Co-Founder, journalist, and TV host 
  • Fakhrriyyah Hashim, Feminist Coalition Co-founder, #ArewaMeToo & #NorthNormal Co-founder, research fellow
