It is a real problem that we have to contend with when women are in politics that it is more difficult for us to go against grain.
Hannah SpierHOST
It is more typical for us to go with the mainstream opinion and then going to the extreme because we want that social cohesion and when we know we have support for it then oh do we go and get it so that is just really something we have to be aware of she mentioned Mandela May I just quickly mention Winnie Mandela's necklace speech where we said, with our boxes of matches and our necklaces, we will liberate this country.
Hannah SpierHOST
That is, you know, going to the extreme when you know that you have the support for it.
Hannah SpierHOST
And
Hannah SpierHOST
She mentioned Mandela.
Hannah SpierHOST
May I just quickly mention Winnie Mandela's necklace speech where we said, with our boxes of matches and our necklaces, we will liberate this country.
Hannah SpierHOST
That is, you know, going to the extreme when you know that you have the support for it.
Hannah SpierHOST
And none of that was empathic.
Ricardo NobreHOST
We start now by introducing Gerard.
Ricardo NobreHOST
So your journey has taken you from employability ventures like Intermatch to an ambitious mission in Africa shaped by a meeting I read that you had with Zondaya Mandela, grandson of Nelson and Winnie Mandela.
Ricardo NobreHOST
Today, your goal is to help create 1 million jobs in Africa, and we are looking forward to hearing the story behind that.
Ricardo NobreHOST
So, Jackie, over to you.

Gerard HollandGUEST
The USA is the next door that you go knocking on.
Gerard HollandGUEST
And it is a really regular path.
Gerard HollandGUEST
But you mentioned in the opening, I was introduced to Zondwa Mandela, who's the grandson of Nelson and Winnie Mandela.
Gerard HollandGUEST
And my first business was a business to help international students with employability.
Mr WolfHOST
not aggressive, but had to fight for their families.
Mr WolfHOST
So, we can also maybe look at someone like Winnie Mandela.
Mr WolfHOST
You know, when her husband was taken, she had to then fight for that party and to be that person, that front and center individual.
Mr WolfHOST
So, It may be a historical thing that is just kind of, I wouldn't say trickled down, but it's just now become the norm that our women are known to be very strong, are known to be very vocal about causes and certain situations, whether that is fighting for your family, fighting for a cause, fighting for, you know, a position at work, whatever the case may be.

Adesoji IginlaHOST
This is a call to honor the past, embrace the present, and build an empowered future.

Yes.
Navi PillayGUEST
And this was published in the media on one full page.
Navi PillayGUEST
And that's the first time I saw that I was also listed, together with other lawyers who were doing human rights work, actually, like Albie Sachs, Ismail Mohamed, who became our first Chief Justice in democratic South Africa, Winnie Mandela was there.
Navi PillayGUEST
And along that was my name.
Navi PillayGUEST
So I was very surprised, but also relieved that I didn't know about that at the time in the earlier years when I was very active.

KareemAUDIENCE

Joe ThomasHOST
no no it's a winnie you know and people forget winnie mandela's role in the whole mandela effect if you will on on the world because he's just a guy in jail if it isn't for her ability to get the story out to the west because there were other political dissidents Just none had the network around them to get the story out there the way Winnie was able to do while Nelson was in prison.
KareemAUDIENCE
Network and fortitude to get things done.
KareemAUDIENCE
Prison changed Nelson.
