  • Can You Hear Us? is a podcast by Monica Abad Yang and Madiera Dennison in partnership with the Department of International Development at LSE. The podcast is the first initiative of its kind in the Department and has the overall aim to prioritise BIPOC women and femmes' specific experiences and narratives by creating a space where we can discuss a multitude of topics that affect us as women, women of colour (WOC) and women in professional spaces such as: Colourism or Work Life Balance. The name Can You Hear Us? originates from the COVID-19 pandemic as it is commonly repeated on Zoom but also symbolically reflects the work left to do to empower WOC.

    “For a lot of us in the world we see [menstruation] as biological phenomenon, but there is still a huge population where menstruation is a deterrent to economic productivity, to education [...] that’s the main inspiration: how can we maximise the potential of young girls and women in workspaces and educational spaces” - Soumya on the origins of Project Baala


    “The model came from a very bottoms up approach, everything that we do today in the organisation, is not something that we came up with while sitting in an office space or getting into a board room to discuss what are possible solutions or what could work. In fact it was being exactly where we needed the impact to be, so being in those communities, being in those slums, being in those villages or everything that we are building on as solutions” - Soumya on Project’s Baala’s model


    “You do not have to be extraordinary to do extraordinary things” - Soumya’s TedX quote and philosophy

  • So We Heard: Renushi on Gender, Education and International Development
    2024/08/20

    Prompted by our youngest team member’s desire for shorter podcasts on her regular commute to and from LSE, Can You Hear Us? is proud to present So We Heard, a series of bite-sized, informal chats dedicated to exploring academic theories, case studies, and current affairs within international development through the lens of black, indigenous, and women of color (BIWOC). With episodes lasting 30 minutes or less, Can You Hear Us team members join assistant producer, Ragini Puri, on a quick deep-dive into what topic within development is peaking their

    interest and why it matters.


    On this episode, Ragini is joined by Renushi, a gender and international development professional. She is the founder of the Sthri project- a feminist peer-support network for first generation college graduates in suburban Colombo.

    • How important are informal networks for first-generation salaried workers?
    • Within this group, what are the particular issues faced by BIWOC?
    • To what extent is social mobility based on merit?

    We discuss this and a lot more in the final episode of So We Heard. Tune in to listen!
