Kabi's Next Cup!
<p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the individual speakers and do not necessarily represent the official views, positions, or policies of the Australian High Commission Kenya.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Selam &amp; Hello has partnered with the Australian High Commission as they celebrate 60 years of partnership with Kenya for this special series: Saying the African Part Out Loud! In this final (and wonderfully fun!) episode, Lilly sits down in studio with Nyokabi (Kabi) Kuguru, founder of Mount Kenya Coffee. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">With roots in a multigenerational farming family in Nyeri County, Kabi is carrying forward her grandfather's legacy while forging new connections between Kenya and Australia. Armed with two master's degrees from the University of Sydney—in Public Health and Digital Communication and Media—Kabi's path into coffee wasn't the obvious one. But through heritage, passion, and purpose, she is building Mount Kenya Coffee into more than a brand: it's a platform for storytelling, cultural exchange, and community.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">In this episode, we explore what gave her the confidence to enter a demanding global coffee market, what she is learning from farmers in Kenya and roasters in Australia, how she defines success, and the beautiful advice her grandfather shared with his grandchildren. Kabi also graced the studio with Mount Kenya Coffee beans, and as she and Lilly enjoy a hot cup, they wrap up with a lively game of kahawa ama chai to discover her true favorite! </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Pour yourself a cup and tune in to this warm, insightful conversation about coffee, culture, and connection.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;

She shares her thoughts on why representation in science is about more than having "a seat at the table" and her philosophy for creating lasting systemic change.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">We also dive into her award-winning social enterprise, Young Stripes, which brings </span><em style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">frugal science</em><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> and hands-on STEM education to children as young as four — breaking down barriers and sparking curiosity in the next generation of Kenyan scientists. Hemanshi offers hard-earned lessons on starting before you're "ready," the art of fearless networking, and scaling social impact sustainably.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Whether you're a young changemaker, an educator, or someone curious about how science can drive equity and environmental sustainability, this conversation is packed with insight, heart, and hope.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;

The Summit of a Lifetime: Lessons from Ato Nagizy Gebremedhin
<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">In this poignant final episode of Selam &amp; Hello, Lilly sits down with the extraordinary Ato Nagizy Gebremedhin—engineer, mountaineer, and a treasured elder of Nairobi's community. At 90 years old, Ato Nagizy recently climbed Mount Kenya for the 14th time, exemplifying a life lived with purpose and resilience.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Together, they journey through his Ethiopian and Eritrean roots, his groundbreaking path to higher education in Kansas as one of eight students selected by Emperor Haile Selassie, and his time at MIT. They reflect on his impactful career in civil engineering and urban planning with organizations like UNEP and the World Bank, as well as his dedicated work preserving the vernacular architecture of Eritrea. His book Asmara stands as a tribute to the modernist architecture of his beloved city.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">From pivotal moments in history across America and Africa to the peaks of Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro, Ato Nagizy's life is a tapestry of ambition, heritage, and adventure. Lilly and Ato Nagizy delve into his passion for mountain climbing, exploring the lessons learned from scaling some of Africa's highest peaks and the unyielding drive that has defined his remarkable journey.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">This episode is a celebration of legacy, resilience, and the mountains—both literal and figurative—that we climb in life.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);

The Aftermath: What the US Election Means to the Continent and Diaspora
<p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">In this compelling episode of Selam &amp; Hello, Lilly sits down with Robyn Emerson, Chair of Democrats Abroad Kenya, for a candid and insightful discussion on the 2024 U.S. election results. Together, they unpack the ripple effects of the American election on Africa and the diaspora, delving into the emotional and political aftermath of Kamala Harris' loss and what it signifies for communities both within America and abroad.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The conversation takes a hard look at what a Trump presidency could mean for U.S.-Africa relations, the diaspora's role in shaping global narratives, and how Black women continue to stand at the forefront of the fight for justice and equality. Tune in for a timely and thought-provoking episode that bridges continents, amplifies voices, and asks the hard questions about our shared future.</span></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;
