HATCH Podcast Series – Episode 24: African Regenerative Futures – Part 2

As young Tanzanians, in particular, struggle to define their way in the world, questions arise about the true nature of opportunity, and what to do when there is a lack. Does the mere existence of options suffice? Amidst political and social landscapes intent on the misleading adage to “pull yourself up by your bootstraps,” it seems the individual is to blame for failing to carpe their diem. But the process of how we become what we become — the choices and experiences that lead us from point a to z, beginning to end — is far more complicated than adages can convey. Opportunity resides in place as much as presence.

Here, at the African Regenerative Futures Summit in Zanzibar, Tanzania, Tate Chamberlin hosts Veronica Likunama, Dr. Stephanie Ndung’u, and Victor Muhagachi as they examine the nature of opportunity in a tiny country on the cusp of technological, social, and political evolution.
