Episode 1: It Starts With Me (English)

Journey to the coast of Kenya where Kenyan educators are undertaking the art of personal transformation, by embracing the values of accommodation and empathy. From Lilian’s shift from cultural resistance to radical respect at Mvita Primary, to Shee Ali’s soulful poetic wisdom, this episode reveals how opening our hearts to others changes everything. It is a moving look at how unlearning isolation allows us to truly see those we lead, proving that the most profound change begins when you are open to changing your mind.
