Summary

In this episode we look at Gender Economics and women's contribution to society: the key role of international policy-making organisations like the UN in making change happen for women: plus the need for more women policy makers. In our Country Report, we meet Madelein Mkunu in South Africa where we hear that women's contribution to the continent is so much more about buildings than it is about bangles and beads. Her organisation, Leading Women of Africa has developed an empowering platform that showcases and promotes women-owned businesses that are pitching to be part of creating new infrastructure. She is opening doors for women to play a bigger game and make their visions become reality, through her investment fund, and other initiatives. Finally our One Woman feature is on grandmother and retired guesthouse owner, Valerie Humphreys. She returned from an adventure holiday with an unexpected project - sponsoring a penniless porter in Uganda in his quest to be a medical doctor.

Rise of Divine Feminine Kate Magic A series of conversations anchored in the wisdom of the feminine, with women and men who are bringing in New Earth, and leading the way in raising our collective frequency. People who understand the truth of "Heal Thyself to Heal the World," and through authentically showing up from a space of love and healing, they invite those around them to raise their own personal vibrations and create offerings that contribute to the planetary shift that we are going through currently. Feet firmly on the ground while reaching for the stars, living in harmony with the earth, and working intentionally with the divine. Kate Magic is a world-renowned raw vegan chef, health educator and author, and founder of RawLiving.co.uk. The Rise Of The Blue-Collar Noncompete Agnes Ford Traditionally, noncompete clauses have been reserved for whiter collar professionals. But as the labor market tightens, employers increasingly want blue-collar workers to adhere to these agreements too. The Orange Wave: A History of the Religious Right Since 1960 Bradley Onishi In this ten-part docu-series Dr. Bradley Onishi (co-host of Straight White American Jesus) uses Orange County, CA as a prism in order to trace the rise of the Religious Right through homegrown activism, local politics, presidential campaigns, billionaire donors, megachurches, media empires, and autocratic regimes at home and abroad. Combining personal storytelling with scholarly research and interviews with leading scholars, the Orange Wave unpacks the inner workings of the Religious Right’s approaches to masculinity, apocalypticism, authoritarian rule, and conspiracy theories. The Urban Culture Drive The Real Network A look into the mysterious aspects of millennials who are now professionals. Large corporates are struggling to retain them, governments are struggling to meet their demands and the economy is shifting to their preferred consuming habits. By their sheer numbers, they are clearly the new world order and as such we all need to learn how to live, work and play with them.In response to the rise of consciousness of young and unapologetic millennials, The Urban Culture Drive takes a look at how this group of people are shifting the behaviours and cultures of the world at large, and how it all relates in a South African context. It's about presenting a vibe of ambition and success as a lifestyle rather than a destination.
