Episode 15 : Juggling Dream and Diapers - Norah Magero

On the surface, most career women often seem to have it all together, successful, confident and thriving. But behind the scenes, there is most often a different reality, one filled with struggles that are rarely spoken about. In the second episode of The Power Dialogue Africa, I sit down with Norah Magero, the first Kenyan and second woman globally to win Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation from the Royal Academy of Engineering, TED Fellow, Top 40 Under 40 Women in Kenya, member of UN Council of Engineers for the Energy Transition, RES4Africa Foundation board member and youth task force contributor and entrepreneur, who has successfully carved out her space in a male-dominated field.

We unpacked:

☀️ How her childhood curiosity and love for problem-solving led her to mechanical engineering.

💡Defining moments that shaped how she shows up.

💭 Her “power” in creating lasting impact while uplifting communities.

🎙️The real unfiltered journey of success, the setbacks, the sacrifice and the resilience it takes to break barriers.

💬 Developing Kenya's first locally made solar-powered IoT refrigerator

🗯️The challenges of funding for entrepreneurs and navigating these hurdles while driving impactful projects.

This is for every woman who’s ever felt unseen and for anyone who’s ever wondered what it really takes to make it. Welcome to a candid Season II! Don't forget to subscribe, follow, comment and share wherever you get your podcast and shows. #powerdialogueafrica #empoweringyou #africanexcellence
