Let us know how we are doing

How do you heal a global wound? In this powerful episode, Michael Kimathi speaks with Dr. Leyla Hussein OBE, an international award-winning psychotherapist, social activist, and a leading global voice against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).

A pioneer in gender rights, Dr. Leyla made history as the first woman of color to be elected Rector of the University of St Andrews. She is the founder of the Dahlia Project—the UK's first specialist therapeutic service for FGM survivors—and co-founder of Daughters of Eve.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Global Advocacy: Moving from local activism to influencing policy at the United Nations and the World Health Organization.
• The Psychotherapy of Trauma: Why mental health support is the missing link in eradicating Gender-Based Violence.
• Leading with Impact: Lessons from her tenure at University of St Andrews and being honored with an OBE.
• Systemic Change: How faith, culture, and community must align to protect the next generation of girls.
