Show Notes
You’re listening to Change Narratives. Today we’re sharing something a little different — a reflective piece from one of our own, Onyedika, about his very first time stepping into a development policy space. It’s raw, honest, and exactly why we do this work.
This bonus episode takes you behind the scenes of that first-time experience — the nerves, the sense of purpose, and the questions that stick with you long after the event ends. Onyedika opens up about:
- Meeting peers who are turning passion into projects.
- The “Japa” conversation and what it means for skills, purpose, and youth readiness.
- How social media can be a tool for real participation.
- Why AI and data ethics matter for young people stepping into governance spaces.
- And the biggest lesson: showing up, listening, and telling stories is the first step to change.
