Description

If You Were In Charge with Sanam Naraghi Anderlini and Kavita Nandini Ramdas. A radical leadership podcast about people, power & possibilities from ICAN and ADA. Sanam and Kavita represent voices that are rarely heard in podcasting. Two powerful advocates for peace and social justice, women leaders with roots in India and Iran, who have led careers as global citizens at the highest levels. In a world increasingly led by autocratic superpowers, exploiting fear and uncertainty, the premise of If You Were In Charge is simple: for every major problem out in the world, there are ordinary people finding extraordinary solutions. This podcast focuses on those who know the truth of poet June Jordan’s words, “we are the ones we have been waiting for”. Join Sanam and Kavita, each week as they reimagine a better future with thought-provoking discussions and insights from leading global experts. If You Were In Charge is brought to you by ICAN (International Civil Society Action Network). This is an ADA Production.
