Edna Adan Ismail: The Mother of Somaliland
<p><strong>You’ve heard about Somalia. But what about Somaliland, a self-declared sovereign state which broke away and declared its independence thirty years ago?</strong></p> <p>Often labeled as the MOTHER OF SOMALILAND, Today’s guest is a living legend who’s left an indelible mark on her home country.</p> <p>After growing up in British Somaliland at a time when girls weren’t educated, Edna Adan Ismail trained to become her country’s first qualified nurse-midwife. But she didn’t stop there - Edna went on to open a maternity hospital in Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland, where she works to combat the country’s high rates of maternal and infant mortality.</p> <p>As if that weren’t enough, Edna also served as the only female minister in the Somaliland government, advocating fearlessly for women and children. She’s made it her life’s goal to put an end to female genital mutilation, which over 99% of women aged 15-49 in Somalia and Somaliland undergo.</p> <p>There’s no end to the list of achievements this woman has completed against all odds. In our conversation, she shares everything from her father’s words that inspired her career, why she chose to sleep in a construction site while her hospital was being built, and what makes Somaliland such a uniquely beautiful country. I hope you enjoy.</p>

Vedangi Kulkarni: Blazing a Trail Around the World for Women of Color in Adventure
<p><strong>Have you ever had the impulse to drop everything and start off on a risky, ambitious adventure? Today I’m introducing you to a woman who felt this calling at a young age - and keeps saying “yes” to it.</strong></p> <p>Vedangi Kulkarni is a 22-year-old adventure-traveller who in 2018 became the youngest woman to circumnavigate the world on a bicycle, a journey she completed mostly solo and unsupported. If that wasn’t courageous enough, she recently started her own business called The Adventure Shed, through which she aims to make adventure more accessible by helping others plan some pretty insane adventure expeditions.</p> <p>Having spent her childhood in India but crafting an adult life in the UK, Vedangi’s definition of “home” is a little more complex than most. This episode is a thrill ride through her craziest adventures - everything from moments of the heart-warming kindness from total strangers to the trauma of being mugged at knifepoint while biking through Spain - as well as a thoughtful, layered discussion on mental strength, passport privilege, and the difficulty of being a woman of color in adventuring.</p> <p>Get ready for a deep dive into the life of a woman who embraces discomfort on a daily basis, and get a taste of the mindset that’s enabled her to overcome the craziest challenges and keep moving forward. I hope you enjoy.</p> <p>*This episode contains a few curse words and is therefore tagged as explicit.*</p>
