The Wiki Loves Women team decided a few months ago to launch a new
podcast. With projects across Africa and the Middle East empowering
women with the tools and platforms to be heard, we have accumulated a
vault of interesting tales from dynamic women who push the boundaries of
what it means to build community and succeed as a collective.

The stories and ideas behind successful African women will be shared for
the next few months in the Inspiring Open

podcast draws wisdom and insights from women who intersect the 'open
movement' and inspire with their thoughts and actions.

*Episodes will be released every two weeks throughout 2022, for a total
of 16 portraits of amazing women. The first two guests were released
during March. They are:*
** ** Anie Akpe, founder of African Women In Tech (AWIT), an
Africa-based organisation helping girls and women with education and
mentorship within technology, as well as UX Diaspora, a unique community
of people of colour in UX who are digitally migrating to educate,
connect and inspire one another all over the world. ***
* Maryana Iskander, the Chief Executive Officer of the Wikimedia
Foundation. With a proven track record for scaling complex organisations
she has dedicated much of her work to breaking down systemic barriers of
access to opportunity and education.
*****Our newest episode is about *Maha Bali*, an open education
innovator. Maha Bali comes from a family of medical doctors but she
fancied studying computer science. This was not to last however, as it
didn't gel with personality as an extrovert. She then made the happy
option of becoming an educator.... **You may access the podcast on all
the usual podcast plateforms. *
*As wikipedians, we have paid extra attention to details and worked hard
to provide the most enjoyable experience. I invite you to have a look to
the dedicated website : **https://podcast.wikiloveswomen.org*** Records

portraits of our guests. Obviously all freely licenced * We have
isolated interesting quotes for the immediate benefit of podcast
addicts.... and long term benefit of Wikiquote :) * On the website, you

more *
