Om Podcasten

Power of the Streets is a podcast about how we speak truth to power. In a series of intimate interviews, host Audrey Kawire Wabwire brings us the achievements and stories of the young people driving Africa’s human rights movement. In our first season we're hearing from some of the people who are rising up and leading the #MeToo movement in Africa. Everyone we speak to has a second, a minute, an hour, when they realize they need to stand up and make a change.
