Talk To Me Direct Ep. 3: Chinenye Uwanaka

As Nigerian lawyer and nation builder Chinenye Uwanaka teaches us in episode 3 of Talk To Me Direct, young people can and must act strategically to shape policy and harness tech for impact at the grassroots level. With host Natasha Kimani, she also explores how women leaders can be bolder in reaching out for opportunities in the civic space.
Chinenye lives to make an impact. She is the convener and co-founder of Africa Policy Conversations, a pan-African think tank with members from 15 African countries. She co-chairs the Advisory Board of the Nigeria Youth Futures Fund (NYFF)-a $5 million fund seeded by the MacArthur Foundation, Ford Foundation, and Luminate, and managed by Leap Africa-which provides capacity-building and financial support to changemakers in the civic space.
