I catch up with Animu Amitai, former Communication Advisor &amp;amp; Speech Writer to the politicians in South Sudan. &amp;nbsp; Anim shares her journey on how she ascended the heights of politics from a simple essay competition, which opened the doors to becoming a political advisor to the Japanese Ambassador and later the advisor to the highest office in South Sudan.&amp;nbsp; Although there are some controversial articles surrounding Anim's citizenship during her tenure, the essence of our conversation is to highlight the importance of perseverance and tenacity.&amp;nbsp; We cover everything from&amp;nbsp; 1. The importance of putting oneself out there; doing it scared&amp;nbsp; 2. Imposter syndrome as a young person and woman in sexist / ageist spaces&amp;nbsp; 3. The importance of rising up into ones ownself and taking up space&amp;nbsp; Her most recent work has been pushing the boundaries of politics by influencing legislature to more inclusive of women participation in politics&amp;nbsp; Connect&amp;nbsp; @AfeniAnimu on Instagram &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Let’s Hang Out!
