In this episode, Marion shares her perspective of how expats like myself should come to Kenya, with a mentality of doing work rather than helping. With this, expats shouldn't feel any guilt to enjoy the beauties of Kenya but at the same time, they then should be held accountable for this. 'We tried' isn't good enough.
We also delve into the different treatment of expats and Kenyans in the workplace, how she navigated this and the system it created of picking the easy route and hiring expat consultants. Coupled with the different risk considerations Marion shares, it paints a strong picture of why there is a structural problem in this space.
Interlaced throughout is plenty of laughter and the aspiration from both our sides, to work to make things better. I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I did recording it!
