Estella's Inspiring Journey: Balancing Motherhood and Advocacy as a Human Rights Defender in Africa

Send us a textIn this episode of SheCentre: The Female Podcast, I interview Estella Kabachwezi, a millennial human rights defender working for an organization called Defend Defenders, which advocates for the rights of human rights defenders in Africa. Estella shares her inspiring journey, discussing how she balances her family life and her role as a human rights defender who frequently travels. We delve into Estella's happy childhood and her academic excellence, as well as her decision to pursue her master's degree in South Africa, leaving her two toddler children in the care of her supportive husband. Estella also offers insights into her modern approach to parenting, giving her three children the space to express their emotions and making time for individual dates with each of them. She opens up about facing imposter syndrome as a working-class mother and wife, especially during her time away from her family, but reveals the strategies she has developed to remain present and engaged. Additionally, Estella highlights the work of her organization in Africa and how her faith in God and her loving family have contributed to her success.I am committed to enhancing your podcast experience.
