A Conversation with Women’s Economic Activist and Former Child Soldier Jolly Okot

Sometimes you interview a soul so stirred up by the world & stirring, that they cry @ the end—and you mist up, too…after the mics, lights are dismantled &  the camera works & digital are being shut down…a reliving & a relief that the story will hopefully get up again & save…that help & understanding are soon on their way… 🙏🏽 So honoured to have had this interview with Nobel Peace Prize nominee (2005), human trafficking survivor, former child soldier, and women’s rights activist, Jolly Grace Okot Andruvile (Jolly Okot) 🙏🏽. 🎥 Watch:  https://youtu.be/CUPlzIatntk?si=EyjTdkGYI-iKPQet  Host (me): Fey Ugokwe, Esq.
