Carrying Culture Forward: What Does It Take to Rewrite Tradition?
Update: 2025-12-29
Description
Culture is often treated as something fixed. But culture is also lived — and sometimes changed by those bold enough to step into it differently.
In this episode of Honestly Speaking, Antonia Howard speaks with Lala Bayani Sidibe — kora performer, girls’ advocate, and Miss Sierra Leone finalist — about identity, heritage, and women occupying spaces once closed to them.
From performing the kora to leading The Empowered Girls Advocacy and navigating national visibility through pageantry, Lala reflects on what it means to carry culture forward without being limited by it.
