In this episode, we discuss the impact of authoritarianism in Africa, with a focus on the wider implications of Nigeria's #EndSARS movement across the continent. We hear from our special guest,Juliet Ihediohanma.

After graduating from college, Juliet moved to Chicago for three years where she initially worked as an Academy Coordinator at a youth residential treatment facility, then later as a Refugee Employment Specialist at a refugee community partner organization. Her favorite part of living in Chicago was taking walks on the 606 and at the lakefront trail, as well as exploring different Chicago neighborhoods.

Juliet is currently pursuing her Master of Public Administration at Columbia University. She is passionate about issues related to refugee and immigrant rights, gender equity, racial justice, and the economic empowerment of historically disenfranchised groups. She hopes to focus on these issues through a career in policy advocacy.

Juliet enjoys reading in her free time. Her favorite book is Beloved by Toni Morrison, and for those looking to start a new book, she recommends Nervous Conditions by Tsitsi Dangarembga.
