Do you worry that you’re too young to achieve your dreams? Or think of your age as a setback/limitation? You’re not alone! According to the 2021 Global Ageism Report compiled by the United Nations, every second a person in the world is believed to hold ageist attitudes – leading to poorer physical and mental health and reduced quality of life for older persons, costing societies billions of dollars each year. In Africa, youth face age-related barriers in different spheres of their lives: commonly in leadership and employment. In this episode, we chat with Sharon Wendo the C.E.O and Creative Director of Epica Jewellery from Kenya and Arinze Chiemenam, a Spoken Word Artist, Content Developer, Storyteller and Social Media Manager from Nigeria about their experiences with ageism among youth in Africa. They share ways they beat the age-bias to thrive as young, ambitious Africans.
