  • "Defending Dignity: Dismantling Caste Systems in Nepal"

    In this powerful episode, our Host, Lady Marieme, engages in a compelling conversation with fellow Young Global Leader Padrip Pariyar, the head of the #DalitLivesMatter Global Alliance.

    This impactful movement aims to bring global awareness to the deeply troubling issue of caste-based discrimination while empowering Nepal's young activists, known as "Dignity Defenders" to fight against this injustice.

    Padrip shares his personal experiences of growing up in the Dalit Community, bravely recounting his exclusion from public places and the discrimination he endured from even his closest friends and teachers solely because of the entrenched caste system in Nepal. His journey serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need to address these systemic inequalities.

    Together, Padrip and Lady Marieme dive into a thought-provoking exploration of the caste system in Nepal, shedding light on its complex workings and the devastating impact it has on the lives of Dalits and other marginalized communities. They also highlight the universal nature of discrimination, acknowledging that many groups worldwide have suffered inhumane treatment due to their birthplace or social status.

    The episode serves as a powerful call to Action, urging listeners to stand against all forms of inequality. Padrip stresses that meaningful change starts with awareness, education, and understanding. By learning about these pressing issues and empathizing with those affected, we can all support equal rights for everyone.

    Join Lady Marieme and Padrip in this eye-opening conversation, and discover how we can collectively create a more just and inclusive world. Through education and empathy, let's work hand in hand to dismantle discriminatory systems and promote a future where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Together, we can make a difference.

  • "Shaping Change: The Power of Integrity"

    Our Host speaks with South Sudanese Deng Dak Malual, the curator of the Global Shaper Hub in Kakuma Refugee Camp. Deng is transforming lives, opening doors, and despite facing the trials and tribulations of being a refugee himself, has emerged as an advocate for financial inclusion, peacebuilding, better livelihood for refugees and climate change.

    Born in South Sudan, now living in Kakuma Refugee Camp, he spoke to our Host whilst she was in China. In a candid call, both explored the challenges faced by refugees in accessing financial services, the innovative solutions being implemented, and the positive impact these initiatives are having on individuals and communities.

    The Global Shapers Community believes in a world where young people are at the heart of solution-building, policy-making and lasting change. An initiative of the World Economic Forum, their mission is to inspire, empower and connect young leaders to reach their full potential, shape decision-making processes and drive positive change in their communities and the world.

  • In today's episode, we embark on a remarkable journey to a refugee camp that showcases the power of resilience and entrepreneurship.

    Our Host visited Dadaab Refugee Camp last month and had the privilege of meeting extraordinary women who defied all odds and embraced entrepreneurship as a means to rebuild their lives. Their determination, creativity, and unwavering spirit left an indelible mark on her.

    Dadaab is Africa's first and largest refugee camp which is now 32 years old. More than 300,000 refugees now live in the camp in Kenya originally intended for 90,000 according to UNHCR. She celebrated World Refugee Day, where she also met U.N.H.C.R. colleagues.

    She discussed and delved into the stories of these remarkable female entrepreneurs like Adhieu Achuil, who have transformed adversity into opportunity. From handcrafted goods to innovative services, from crushing nuts into hair shampoos and oils, they have unleashed their entrepreneurial talents to not only sustain themselves but also uplift their communities. Their stories will inspire you, challenge your perceptions, and ignite a sense of hope and possibility like they did to our host.

    Join us as we uncover the triumphs and tribulations of these resilient women, discover the transformative Power of entrepreneurship, and gain a deeper understanding of the human spirit's incredible ability to thrive even in the face of unimaginable circumstances.

  • The Power of Empathy: Fostering a World-Caring Mindset

    In this special Podcast compilation, our Host looks back at some of the most inspiring moments and thought-provoking insights shared by our esteemed guests. We've heard from a myriad of personalities who are making incredible strides in their fields, and today we want to reflect on their wisdom, from Beatrice Bondy to Mark Wamaya, who said: "Everybody deserves the right to dance. Dancing is like coding. It is a tool that we can use to fight poverty in Kibera. I want to give people dignity, and I know they can do magic and fix the world when they are young and themselves."

    Bhushan Sethi also talked about creating meaningful partnerships.

    Despite our guest's wide range of backgrounds and professions, we noticed common threads across their narratives. Themes like caring, accountability, responsibility, innovation, and Community have been recurring, shaping their approaches to fixing the world.

    Our Host shared her reflections in an emotive and candid way.

  • Exclusive: Who is Fixing the World - "Why Should We Care About Africa?" with Pierre Goudiaby Atepa

    What a week. How did we get here? This is the question that we keep asking ourselves each morning. Our guest has got answers.

    This week's episode was recorded from ⁠Dakar, Senegal, ⁠where our Host spent a week speaking and meeting people despite the political instability.

    Our Host spoke at the ⁠E-Learning Africa⁠, a platform promoting e-learning in Africa and encouraging collaboration amongst the chief learning officers.

    Senegal is a country of over 16 million people, and youth unemployment is exceptionally high; young people, especially women and girls, lack skills and cannot get jobs.

    Both discussed how we can develop Senegal and Africa in general. He said that people just need to care. When people care about Africa, we will be able to eradicate Poverty. People care too much about themselves; hence the poverty level is what it is.

    He said their generation had failed Africa, and he wants to ensure the next generation does better for Africa, and for that to happen, the mindset must change.

    The renowned and celebrated African Architect Pierre Goudiaby Atepa is our guest for this exclusive Podcast. Mr Goudiaby has created the most iconic African buildings, including the Central Bank B.C.E.A.O. The building is situated in Burkina Faso. He also made the Millenary Door in Dakar, the Banjul airport, and the Bank of the Economic Community of West African States (E.C.O.W.A.S.) in Lomé, to just name a few.

    He is currently looking at Smart cities and how to build administrative cities in Africa. He believes we must change our mindset, invest more in our cities and think differently to develop our continent. The Human capital of Africa is immense, but when we care more about the continent, change can happen. We truly loved talking to Pierre at his home in the Senegalese Capital.

  • In conversation- "How to become a better ancestor."

    Recorded from Japan, in this week's episode, Author, Ancestorist, and Buddhist Monk Shoukei Matsumoto joined our Host, Lady Marieme, to discuss his new project, "Camphor Three Village". He was born in 1979 in Japan; he graduated with B.A. degree in Literature from the University of Tokyo. They spent time together in Japan, where she recently visited and spoke to over a thousand people in person and online.

    In support of Mastumoto, our Host helps define what it means to become a better ancestor to a different audience in this modern world.

    She agrees with Shoukei that future generations must rethink ancestry, be accountable and do better for the world.

    The time they spent together during this pilgrimage allowed them to reconnect and share some memorable moments they both cherished. Both have an in-depth conversation on incorporating the Ikigai and Ubuntu concepts in our thinking and daily lives.

  • In this episode, our Host invited Swiss Economist Beatrice Bondy. She opened up about her family, passion and concern for the world we are living in and shared her advice on how to teach responsibility and accountability.

    She shares a key lesson that's shaped her journey and life: Being able to care and take responsibility for your life and society. Be sure to start taking action before it is too late. Accountability means responsible behaviour. She said setbacks will happen in life—but if we treat them as teachable moments, they can help us grow and be accountable. Beatrice and our Host visited Kakuma Refugee Girls, where she taught them about financial inclusion and many other things.

    A good place for leaders to start is engaging in small, doable habits that require compassion, courage, and curiosity.

    Lady Mariéme was invited to meet the Tormead girls and their Nepalese school students counterparts. They shared their hopes and dreams but also challenged us to do better for young women and girls who do not have the opportunity they have.

  • "The Power of Dance"

    After a few weeks away from the mic, Lady Mariéme returned to speak with Mike Wamaya, Founder and C.E.O. of Project Elimu. Mike was 13 years old when his life was turned upside down. His father’s death forced him to drop out of school to support his family. While selling car parts, he saw a poster announcing auditions for the Kenya Performing Arts Group. Without any previous experience, Michael’s determination shone through, and he was offered a place at the Nairobi-based school. Lady Mariéme met Mike a few years ago in Nairobi and was genuinely impressed with his vision to help young women and girls through Ballet dancing. She donated computers to his project. Both discuss giving tools to the youth. Mike said: “Everybody deserves the right to dance. Dancing is like coding. It is a tool that we can use to fight poverty in Kibera. I want to give people dignity, and I know they can do magic and fix the world when they are young and themselves.

  • Welcome to Season 8 of the iamtheCODE Podcast. Thank you for supporting us.

    Our theme this season is: Who is Fixing the World? Is there any sentence that sums up your life? Do you know people who are fixing the world and coming together to make a difference?

    Our brilliant Host speaks with ⁠⁠Basetsana Kumalo⁠⁠ , patron of iamtheCODE, who travelled with her to meet the Kakuma Girls for the first time in history. Basetsana was shocked and in tears to see what was happening in this Refugee Camp. Lady Marieme has dedicated her life to making the world a better place for the Kakuma; hence she invited her dear friend to visit the camp with her.

    During the trip, both women met extraordinary young girls and women with ideas, empathy, kindness, passion and determination to improve their and other people’s lives. Basetsana is a businesswoman and philanthropist. After the trip, she shared lessons and gave some advice to help us all express our deepest gratitude for what we have and can do for our fellow human beings.

  • Our Season 7 continues with the theme of the Diary of the Do-Gooders. In this week’s Episode, Lady Mariéme talks about the power of having a therapist instead of a coach and why understanding that a therapist can help you better than a coach. We hide behind coaches, but sometimes what really we need is a therapist. Although Coaching can be excellent when people are healed, Lady Mariéme believes therapy should come first. After two sessions of coaching this year, she realised she needed a therapist. She felt she was coaching her coach more than the coach was coaching her. Having been in therapy for more than 20 years, our host said that therapy has helped her find herself, grow, heal, be healthy, master her childhood issues and be more pragmatic with her life journey. Many people do not know that psychotherapist focuses more on healing you from the past, while Coaching focuses on getting you to where you wish to be next, like setting up your SMART goals and giving you clarity in what you want to achieve. Sometimes they repeat what you already know but needs to be validated. Coaches can do little when you have trauma and lack motivation; What you really need is therapists; investing in therapy can help you immensely. Do-Gooders see injustice and unfairness and commit to doing something about it. They are fixers.

    In this season, guests like Raghu Appasani (founder of the MINDS Foundation) want to help people take care of themselves. I loved his Podcast and his talk about mental hygiene. A therapist can help us with the mental health issues that may prevent us from living our best life. They can help us explore deep-rooted matters from our past, childhood trauma and relationships with our parents, even when the past hurts. This season, I learned that learning to train your mind is the greatest investment you can make in life. I also learned that if you do not have it, you cannot give it. Some Do-Gooders want to do good, but they push themselves too much so they can feel good, but underneath their intention are pain and trauma. For 20 years, I had a treatment plan, which has helped me. When you have a therapist, they can lubricate your life. The plans could take several months or even years, but it is good for you and your soul. 

    Having a therapist helped me understand the nature and importance of sleep. Also, my therapist helped me explore my authenticity, understanding my triggers and what I want to do in life and don’t want to do. My advice: Find yourself a therapist, not a coach.

  • In this week’s Episode, Lady Mariéme invited Carmen Corbin, Head of Counter Cybercrime Programming (Africa). Carmen leads by example. She is based in Senegal, where she is currently serving. Both met during the pandemic when she invited Lady Mariéme to speak about technology and the importance of online safety. She is passionate about capacity building in Africa, especially for women.


    They both discussed how cyber harassment and cybercrime can take many forms and why civil servants in the Police must be trained urgently with digital intelligence tools. In Africa, we have seen significant growth in cyber criminality in the form of high-profile ransomware campaigns over the last year. Unwanted sexually explicit emails, text (or online) messages; websites or internet chat rooms; Threats of physical and/or sexual violence by email, text (or online) messages; Hate speech, meaning language that denigrates, insults, threatens or targets an individual based on her identity (gender) and other traits (such as sexual orientation or disability). Lady Mariéme believes that Technology will have a profound and transformational effect on how her agency and law enforcement in Africa do business over the coming eight years. Carmen is happy to be part of the change in the cybercrime space in Africa. She is a Do-Gooder!
