In July 2019, Azizi Life CEO Jeannine Umutoniwase sat down with HER podcast host, author, recording artist, and poet Amena Brown over Skype to discuss being a woman of color in leadership. Amena, a repeat Azizi Life Experiences visitor and proud supporter of Rwandan artisans, talks with Jeannine about how her upbringing and her work as a guest house manager prepared her for leading an organization. In discussing her work with Azizi Life, Jeannine talks about the importance of empowering women and the lessons she’s learned as a CEO.
