The First Episode of IMPA's NEW 'In Conversation with' Podcast Series. Felicity Landon, talks to Amb. Nancy Karigithu, Special Envoy Advisor on Maritime and Blue Economy, Executive Office of the President of Kenya. Nancy Karigithu was the first Principal Secretary of Kenya's State Department for Shipping and Maritime. A champion of women in shipping, she is passionate about opportunities for young people, decarbonisation and protection of the environment. There have been times in Nancy Karigithu's career when it would have been far easier to quit than to carry on, as she faced entrenched misogynistic attitudes and barely concealed attempts to undermine her position. But even on the worst days, she would ask herself – if I quit, what message am I giving to other women? That it can't be done? Listen Now!
