Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Andréas Deolinda | 163 | Identity, youth empowerment, and reconnecting with my mother tongue
Q: And when we started talking about epistemic justice and this writing work as part of a wider decolonial project, what were the key questions you were asking about language?
I was questioning the limits of my spoken mother tongue and exploring tools—like listening to elders, learning through songs, and bringing elements of language into writing—to liberate my voice and keep heritage alive in my work.
Tsitsi Marylin Midzi | Ep 140 | 6APC Series #11| Urgent Action Fund-Africa
Q: How does the grantmaking process work to be so fast?
Movements can apply via voicenote or an online portal; approvals are instant with online due diligence and a network of advisors, and payments can be disbursed within 24 to 48 hours.
Tsitsi Marylin Midzi | Ep 140 | 6APC Series #11| Urgent Action Fund-Africa
Q: Could you explain what Urgent Action Fund Africa does and how it started?
The fund was created to move resources rapidly to feminist and women's rights movements across Africa, beginning as part of a global network but established in Africa in 2001 to address continent-specific conflicts and crises.
Shonali Banerjee | Ep 138 | 6APC Series #9 | International Aid Flows | Venture Philanthropy
Q: What does the Tony Elumelu Foundation case study reveal about philanthropy and entrepreneurship in Africa?
The case study shows a shift from donor-driven scholarships to an Afro-capitalist model that emphasizes African-led prosperity, a staged incubator approach, strong emphasis on mentorship and learning, and a need to consider the role of the state and succession planning as foundations evolve.
Shonali Banerjee | Ep 138 | 6APC Series #9 | International Aid Flows | Venture Philanthropy
Q: What landed you in development studies?
Banerjee explains her trajectory from the US, including field postings in Morocco and work with marginalized communities, which fostered an interest in development and crowd-sourced funding research, eventually leading to an academic career with a practitioner-oriented focus.
