I had the honor of speaking on the Driving Change podcast few weeks ago and it was an amazing time. During the episode, I chatted with my friend Sarika Bansal about improving healthcare in Africa, the experience of starting a company on the Continent, and what it means to choose people over profits.

On top of being the Editorial Director of Afar Media, Sarika is also the author of Tread Brightly, a book that discusses the ethics of orphanage tourism, cruise ships, and study abroad programs.

“It asks how one’s identity as a traveler—like one’s country of origin, gender, and race—impacts a travel experience. It considers the climate consequences of non-essential travel.”

I recently bought the book and can’t wait to read it (and of course provide my thoughts for you to decide if/when you’d like to read it).

Happy listening!
