Conversation with Daniel Duwa Show

Stan Stewart is more than just a musician. He is a pianist, composer, songwriter, improviser, and creative person all around. One of his latest works Lament to George,  a heartwarming & beautiful song he penned and performed in tribute to George Floyd is my favorite of his work. At a time that the world seems to have fallen off its axis, such calm pieces, known and noted mature voices and hope for better days, different ways of doing life, seeing and reaching out resonates with me. But that's just me.

You can find Stan online everywhere and especially here:

Welcome back to another powerful episode of Conversations with Daniel Duwa. Today's conversation is both urgent and crucial. We're delving into a topic that demands our collective attention, a plea that resonates across communities, a cry for justice that echoes in the hearts of many. Let me remind you that the power to bring about change resides within each of us. As we explore this topic, my hope is that it sparks not only awareness but a call to action. It's time for us to ask the right questions, and work towards a world where every life is valued, cherished, and protected. Let’s STOP THE KILLINGS.

Welcome back,

Please come with me, and we take a walk down the estate and have a case study of what kind of business we have and why do they close in the first year of opening.

Here are some of the minefields that you can avoid and some insights based on years of observations, good practice from significant companies, and more importantly, the Kenyan experience.

Please enjoy.

Nienke Nasserian

Nienke is a soprano and classical musician and performer in Europe born to a Netherland mother and a Tanzanian father whose meeting resembles the movies and especially, the classic movie Casablanca. She is walking the tightrope finding her way in a blend steeped in her European home where she grew up and her African heritage.

She took a liking to play the clarinet at the tender age of eight, took to singing at fifteen, and Operatic performance at eighteen. She would graduate cum laude.

Conversation with  Daniel Duwa  -  Slevi Radhakrisna Cheria - Life Partnerships

Slevi Radhakrisna Cheria 

My guest today is a small yet growing percentage of entrepreneurs who have taken what I would call the high-rope act of building lasting businesses while also working with their life partners. Their company Business Sherpa is a coaching business that Slevi and her husband Akshay run together both as business partners but also as husband and wife. It is this dichotomy of where work begins and life starts and vice-versa that is super intriguing as to how they are navigating these waters. Slevi opens up about life, work, struggles, and successes so far. I think there is a masterclass that we could all benefit from emulating. 

Thank you Slevi.

Kenyan Stories by Daniel Duwa

My guest today is an amazing changer agent and a treasure trove of knowledge and inspiration. When the world fell off, and America had to change overnight in the 911 period, she charted an unlikely path. Not one to be in the comfort zone, Dorthea is embarking and charting very exciting paths that I feel will be of benefit to a whole new generation. This is a message that is heaven-sent in these strange times,

Dorethea Kemp is a Graphic and Mobile Web Designer at her company DKemp Designs and I like the way she describes herself as "who also is a servant to the feline known as Smutty" on her socials.

In her free time, she paints abstract art and blogs.

You can connect with her at

Khrys is a single mom with a very energetic little boy. Their favorite thing to do together is travel, experiences she shares on her YouTube channel (Khrys Monet) which also has product reviews.  She says "I share lifestyle-related videos such as product reviews, travel, & anything else Mom life-related".  Her goal on the channel is to uplift, inspire, connect with other moms & empower others with valuable content. Her videos are straight to the point, with no intro, and no rambling. 

Miss Monet as I call her is always in busy mommy mode racing the clock, a fact that is clear even in this podcast that we recorded while she made breakfast for her son.  All this while also working in the Airline industry. 

You can also follow her on Instagram:  @khrysmonet

Please enjoy my Conversation with Khrys Monet. 

Regards,

Daniel.

Change Makers - Daniel Duwa interviewed Jamaican, Rwandese CEO, educational consultant, and attorney, Donnalee Donaldson.   

About Donnalee: 

Today, I share being interviewed by Ghosts of Tsavo author  Vered Ehsani @VeredEhsani

Daniel Duwa – YOUNGEST PIRATE EVER

'He claims to be shy, but I’m not buying it. Especially for a former radio pirate at the age of 10 back in the state-owned media days of the Moi era. Daniel D’uwa was anything but reserved as we chatted in a University of Nairobi innovation lab where he often hangs out. Storytelling is his passion, and he loves music too. But, he says, “I have the equivalent of two left feet when it comes to playing.” So he sticks with writing, amongst other creative endeavors.

In addition to being an amateur pirate and a writer, Daniel has also dabbled in film as a director and producer. He’s been a journalist, a poet, an event manager, a speaker, a social anthropologist, and (his personal favorite) a Nerd. Not bad for a guy who claims to be shy.

Reflecting on the diversity of his city, Nairobi, he realized that we have to tell our stories. Not only are there lots of stories to tell, but there are also lots of tools to capture them with. His passion for churning out local content made him part of the team that started the Kenya Music Week and also directed the first-ever hidden camera comedy show called Krazie Kenyans, way before the hype for these types of TV shows really hit the industry last year.

Regards,

Daniel.

In this episode, I had a late, late-night seat down interview with change-makers,  Jamaican, Rwandese CEO, educational consultant, and attorney, Donnalee Donaldson at the fringes of the Segal Conference.  An educator and education development specialist with a passion for strengthening education systems, and designing academic programs that create equitable access to education for all, particularly underserved populations.   Donnalee co-founded secondary and tertiary education programs in four countries, including in a refugee camp.   Her expertise includes teacher training, instructional coaching, curriculum development, program design, refugee education/education in emergencies, creating school-to-workforce pipelines, competency-based education & student recruitment, and admissions.   She is currently serving as the Rwanda Country Director of Educate!, where she leads a team that uses a novel approach to teacher training to support the government's implementation of a competence-based curriculum.  An attorney by training, Donnalee's professional experience also includes litigation and policy work for four local government agencies. As an international education professional, she draws on her legal background to develop practical policy solutions to systemic education issues.  I am based in Rwanda, but available for consulting opportunities globally (and remotely).

Daniel

If you know me, you know I love my city, Nairobi. I know you might feel and think differently, and that is okay, but to me, Nairobi is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
