#TalkWithTodah | Meteoric Rise of Adelle Onyango to Podcasting

Talk With Todah

In case you know, Adelle Onyango is indeed a fierce woman — driving conversations, I mean meaningful and impactful conversations about Africa and its people, about their raw yet unique human journey from diverse perspectives. After working as a radio presenter for over a decade at Kiss FM, a reputable Kenyan radio station, she now sets out to foray into a more self-fulfiling career in podcasting. Her path to stardom as an award-winning media personality has never been more awe-inspiring. She started the weekly podcast series, Legally Clueless where she's currently documenting 100 African Stories that will inspire you. Even more, Adelle was listed among BBC100 Women ’17, a Facebook icon of change ’19, OkayAfrica's Top Women of '18, and also, among 100 influential Africans ’19. She also founded an initiative geared towards educating the public on issues facing vulnerable and minority populations, specifically women and youths, and also creating solutions-oriented content for them. Yes, on our talk show, we caught up with and hosted the quintessential amazon whose story already reads like a lofty wish. So, in this episode, she shared some unique parts of her life, her career journey, and also how she got her podcast to be syndicated on Trace FM (Kenya), a global radio station. Her podcast is the first syndicated podcast in Eastern Africa on radio — already with plans to also be syndicated on Trace FM (Ghana). Two words of inspiration from our richly insightful conversation was ”Keep doing!” And if this is not amazing and awesome, then I wonder what is. Have a vicarious listening pleasure ahead, and I hope this motivates you to keep pursuing your dream, no matter what it is.
