This week on the podcast it’s flashback February. Inspired by last year’s Black History Month compilation episode (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/163), for this week, also dedicated to Black History Month, I’ve selected glocally speaking, mindset hacking and solution-scaping excerpts from conversations over the past year.

Cognitive-Behavioral Research Scientist, Dr. Juleen Christopher (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/juleen-christopher) reinforces his thoughts by introducing us to her mindset hack, a technique called positive intelligence and how a commitment to telling ourselves and living a story contrary to those embedded in social injustice are at the bedrock of her activism. Cultural practitioner, Kobby Graham (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/kobby-graham) furthers the story as he elaborates on his mindset hack - collaboration and how its revival in the African psyche is critical to progress. Communication specialist and cultural curator, Samba Yonga (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/sambe-yonga) then illustrates how our African histories reinforce this collaborative ethic and is using her museum as the narrative activism necessary to reinform a new now. Finally, glocally speaking, the Money Maker, Eric Collins (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/eric-collins), puts his money where his mouth is investing in the change that he and his partners at Impact X Capital intend to see in black communities across Europe. The common thread in my selections is activism which is the why of Black History Month. Waking each morning in parts of the world rife with injustice is itself an act of courageous resistance. We must challenge ourselves to uplift untold stories and unheard voices, so that by valuing global Black histories, we can collectively build, simply put, a better today.

As we usher in 2022 aka double deuces, this week’s episode is all about mindset. We’re going back into the Global Citizens archive for a compilation of mindset hacks from early guests of the podcast. In case you’e new to the podcast and not unlike some of my guests you might be wondering what is a mindset hack? Well, a description that I quite like is that mindset hacking is exploring the limits of what is possible, seeking excellence, or even balance which entails doing something exciting and meaningful, deliberately finding opportunities to be clever, problem solve and enjoy what you are doing. So with that in mind, this week you’ll hear from: Cordie Aziz-Nash (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/3), she is the CEO and founder of Environment360 and has roots in Sierra Leone, Ghana and the US; Nigerian-American filmmaker and founder of Refined Creative based in Accra, Ghana, Emmanuel Etim (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/4); Ghanaian, musician and social entrepreneur, Leslie Bentil (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/6), he’s the founder of Gutta Soles and the Gutta Soles Foundation; Nigerian pianist, music director, composer, and leader of Afrobeat band Ayetoro, Funsho Ogundipe (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/21); Ghanaian Amma Gyampo (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/7), Co-Founder of B2B Entrepreneurship Development firm, ScaleUp Africa; Also from Ghana, serial techpreneur and creative, Kwame Acheampong (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/23); Yogi and wellness-peneur, Nana Amoako-Anin (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/9), founder of Bliss Yoga Accra; and Valerie Labi (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/10), a social innovator, business leader and mother who just last week welcomed her third bundle of joy.
