My first guest is a  trailblazer of many talents and accolades: educator, doctor, international public health specialist and author. Professor Miriam Khamadi Were's commitment to being fearless has been tested over the course of her six-decade career. She created what became the University of Nairobi's School of Public Health,  developed templates for community health policies around the world and helped stop the spread of HIV/AIDS in Kenya. She's stood firm against the winds of racism, sexism and corruption, even in situations where her career and her life were threatened. Prof. Were now sits on the Lancet's Covid-19 Commission. Find out what where she gets her courage from, what inspires her conviction and how her connections have helped her stand her ground on my podcast, Fearless with Uduak Amimo.
