This week, we find out how empowerment can change lives. We catch up with Jane Waithera, who is fighting against the stigma of albinism in Kenya. Rapper Albi X joins us in the studio to share his story of overcoming adversity to become a role model. We visit the only car garage owned and run by women in The Gambia and Paralympian Victorine Guissou takes us on a tour of Burkina Faso's Koudougou.
