Our guest, Kah Walla, is a trailblazing African leader whose impact spans politics, entrepreneurship, and activism. As the first woman to run for President in Cameroon, president of a major political party, and founder of a globally recognized consulting firm, Kah’s life is a testament to courage, vision, and unwavering commitment to justice. Her advocacy for human rights, women’s empowerment, and youth leadership has made her a respected voice not only in Cameroon but across the continent and beyond. Kah’s story is one of breaking barriers, building bridges, and inspiring others to step into their own power.
In this episode, Kah Walla opens up about her roots as an “active African citizen” and the profound influence of her grandmothers—two remarkable women who defied the odds in mid-20th-century Cameroon. She shares how their strength, independence, and nurturing leadership shaped her own philosophy: that true leadership is about building others up, not just standing at the front. Kah recounts her journey from being the eldest child in a supportive, open-minded family to leading a thriving consulting business and a political movement for justice and equality.
Listeners will hear candid stories of triumph and challenge, including the pivotal moment when Kah refused to pay a bribe to save her young company, drawing on the wisdom and clarity her mother instilled in her. She discusses the importance of collective action in Africa—why joining movements, not just talking or tweeting, is crucial for real change. Kah’s insights into the history of African women’s leadership, the need to move from potential to results, and the call for every African to “get their hands dirty” in building a better society are both eye-opening and deeply motivating.
Throughout the conversation, Kah emphasizes the value of self-belief, continuous learning, and focusing on what truly matters: building yourself, your skills, and your vision from the inside out. She challenges listeners to avoid distractions, invest in their own growth, and measure their legacy by the leaders they help create. Her message is clear: Africa’s future depends on ordinary people stepping up, working together, and believing in their collective strength.
