Do Young Africans Have Real Power? | Africa Speaks

In this episode of Africa Speaks, Florian Marembo joins us for a direct conversation about youth leadership across Africa. We discuss: Why thousands of youth leaders and fellowships have not shifted systems Whether empowerment funding creates change or dependency If charity solves problems or protects broken structures Why youth movements stay divided Whether political loyalty limits civic courage Who holds youth leaders accountable Florian also speaks about his work in community development and informal settlement upgrading, and shares insights from his upcoming book on father and daughter relationships. We explore the link between broken families, male mental health, and leadership failure, and what ethical fatherhood looks like in practice. This is a conversation about power, responsibility, healing, and generational change.
