#33 In Luxembourg with Jana Degrott: Running for Elections

For the #33 episode of We Belong, we had an intimate discussion with our Co-Founder Jana Degrott, that also counts as one of the youngest elected politicians in Luxembourg and in Europe. Since the age of 16, Jana has been active in politics and by the age on 21 she was elected as a Local Councilor in Luxembourg. Recognised Obama Leader by the Obama Foundation, Responsible Leader by the BMW Foundation and Goalkeeper by the Gates Foundation, she is a role model for many aspiring female leaders. In conversation with Jana, she recalled her first elections compared to the current elections she is campaigning for. She also opened up on the mental health struggles she faced due to her political work and how she found her sense of belonging. Episode in partnership with Get the Trolls Out.
