African Policy Heroes Unveiled - Jawhratelkmal Kanu

'African Policy Heroes Unveiled: Young African Leaders Share Their Inspirational Stories' explores the dynamic world of leadership within various policy fields across the African continent.
Hosted by a Apiwe Hotele, fellow at the Young African Leaders Programme (YALP) of the Florence School of Transnational Governance, the series sheds light on the challenges and solutions faced by aspiring leaders in Africa starting from an encounter with their personal hero or heroine, that is, the person who has inspired them personally and professionally and guided them on their career path.
Jawhratelkmal Kanu is an economist and political economy analyst from Sudan. In her conversation with Apiwe, Jawhratelkmal speaks about how her father has inspired and supported her along the way. She also discuss leadership skills in the field of political economy, the importance of thinking critically and not taking things for granted, and what she takes away from her three months as a YALP Fellow in Florence. Finally, the interview also provides space to talk about the ongoing war in Sudan.
