Sanam Hi, everyone. Welcome back to If You Were In Charge, a podcast about people, power, and possibilities. I'm Sanam Naraghi Anderlini, and I'm excited to say that I have a new co-host. That's me, Kavita Nandini Ramdas. As a peace strategist who's worked with the UN and founder of the International Civil Society Action Network, ICANN, I've been working with women peace builders in conflict zones for the past 30 years.
Kavita Ramdas As a senior advisor to the International Planned Parenthood Federation, and the former head of the Global Fund for Women, I've been a women's rights activist for just as long.
Sanam Each episode, we take on the world's toughest problems and speak to the people doing the extraordinary work of finding the solutions and reimagining leadership. The solutions they offer are collective. (.)
Speaker (clip) Let's make all the people around the world be in charge of their own lives. Trust that whoever's in the front line experiencing the problem has the best solution. (.)
The people in Minneapolis give me a lot of hope, standing up to the thugs, the goon squad, the ICE. (.)
Kavita Ramdas Yes, a little bit feminist. The world needs more than just law. It needs people and sensitivity and care and a fundamental rehaul of the global economic system, including, you know, now being able to say that capitalism sucks.
Sanam Because the truth is, we are the ones we've been waiting for. Join Kavita and me on If You Were In Charge, wherever you get your podcasts.
