In this inspiring episode of Y Health, host Dr. Cougar Hall sits down with Ayugi Ntambwe-Kalala — public health professional, educator, and mother of three — to discuss her remarkable journey from a small fishing town in Kenya to her current role as Student Experience Coordinator in BYU’s Department of Public Health.
Ayugi shares how her boldness and vision helped her build a global career spanning 31 countries, launch a menstrual health company in Kenya, and now mentor students as they turn classroom learning into meaningful public health careers.
The conversation takes an especially heartfelt turn as Ayugi and Dr. Hall explore what it means to raise strong, compassionate sons and daughters in today’s world — and how society can better support both boys and girls to flourish together.
Full of humor, honesty, and hope, this episode reminds us that strength and kindness can coexist, and that helping others grow often begins with the courage to “just go for it.”
