Legally Clueless

This week's episode features TWO stories - yes anything goes here! During my uni tour I recorded Omar from Mombasa's story on running for student council twice and getting zero votes on the first attempt. His story is in this episode. The second story was recorded in Egypt and is well known Nigerian actor, film producer, businessman, leader - Banky W speaking on his experience of running for public office in the last elections in Nigeria. I truly hope this episode encourages you to TRY regardless of what fear is holding you back from doing that thing you've always wanted to - yes THAT thing!

In this episode we talk about challenges and failures! I've always found that I never look at my failures as failures. Because of how I was brought up I automatically see them as either a lesson or I automatically try again. Not to say that they don't make me feel some type of way when they happen - but what I end up labeling them isn't failure in the traditional sense. on #100AfricanStories Nelly shares her story of leaving the village for Eldoret...then the states and finally coming back home to Kenya to head one of East Africa's premier cosmetic companies. #LegallyCluelessThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5931378/advertisement
