This week on the Design Driven Life, Wendy Yates speaks with Noella Coursaris Musunka. Noella is the founder and CEO Malaika, it is a grassroots nonprofit organization that educates and empowers girls and their communities in her home country of the Democratic Republic of Congo. She is a unique and fearless spokesperson and the face of leading beauty and fashion campaigns across the globe. Noella is a voice for the power of growth. Education worldwide. She has shared her insight at a number of World Class forum spanning the World Economic Forum in Davos, in the university halls of Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard and MIT. She's an ambassador for the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and advisor at core Concordia and a member of the advisory board of the Segal Family Foundation.

On this episode of the Design Driven Life, Wendy talks to Noella on the importance of enhanced access to education, water, and healthcare. We’re teaching girls to question and engage and to evolve into progressive leaders who can positively affect their villages, their country, and even their world. And we’re giving adults a space to reinvent and reimagine their lives, too at a community-driven model which has been integral to their success over the last 13 years. And it all starts with education: an educated woman is more likely to give back to her community, to inspire others to attend school, and to cultivate a sense of independence among both her peers and the next generation.
