This week we interviewed Amadou Lamine Ba who was the ambassador of Senegal to the USA in 2002. Ba was a member of the African Diplomatic Corps (ADC), a group of 53 ambassadors that represent African countries in the United States. Earlier in his career, Ba was a teacher, co-executive of HDNA (Human Rights, Democracy, and New Leadership in Africa), member of the Executive Bureau of the US-Africa initiative, consultant for USAID (United States Agency for International Development), and the general secretary of the Supreme Council for Sport in Africa. It was a pleasure speaking with him.
We’re looking for support in our charity efforts! Our podcast reaches 1000’s of young listeners from across the world. Therefore, we thought we should positive use of the large audience that we are fortunate to have & identify an advertising partner to work with. We are giving away two short slots before and after each show. Our intention is to donate 100% of the advertising proceeds to Age International or an equivalent international charity of your choice that supports caring for older people in our community. If you are interested, please let us know: itstheirlives@gmail.com.
There was an obvious reason for beginning this podcast "Their Lives." We want to hopefully 1. Allow for our older generations to inspire our younger generations with their stories 2. To give our older generations a platform to collectively reminisce 3. To entertain our audience & most importantly send them on their way with lessons that they can practically use during these times.
