Hey Friend😀. It's great to be here with you once again.

In this episode, I welcome Meso Mary Gorety, to chat about her experience supporting girls and young women facing sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). Meso discusses her work with various organizations, including Pamoja CBO and the She Leads project by Plan International, aiming to provide education on menstrual hygiene, sexual and reproductive health, and mental health. She shares her personal motivation stemming from her sister's traumatic experience with SGBV, highlighting the pivotal role of educating and empowering young girls in the community. We also talk about the cultural norms and stigmas that exacerbate the challenges faced by survivors and emphasizes the importance of more inclusive and supportive environments for young people. What an honor!

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
