Mary’s Personal Journey against the Patriarchy in Africa

In this episode we share the remarkable story of "Mary" (a pseudonym to protect her privacy), a woman whose determination, integrity, and resilience helped her rise from humble beginnings to the role of General Manager of an hotel in Africa.Starting with no connections, no job prospects, and even being asked for unspeakable "favors" just to get a chance at work, her story is one of courage in the face of cultural challenges.We explore how Mary fought for her first job, the struggles of women in male-dominated work environments, and how she is now mentoring younger women. The deep love she has for her job, makes her hotel a special place.This is a raw and inspiring conversation about resilience, leadership, and the power of staying true to one’s values.Deutsch: Du kannst diesen Podcast auch auf Deutsch hören: “Africa with André auf Deutsch”👉 If you’ve enjoyed this episode or have thoughts to share, please reach out: [email protected] Follow me on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/africa_with_andreSubscribe to Email reminders when episodes go live: www.africawithandre.comSound credits: uppbeat.io/ and https://pixabay.com/
