Post-Episode Musings: Life After 'Aid'

Full disclosure, people: writing really isn’t my favorite thing. I’d rather talk. Which shouldn’t be too surprising given I’m half Nigerien (as in, the country of Niger) and I grew up in West Africa—I figure it’s pretty much in line with the oral storytelling traditions of African peoples. Yeah...that excuse works for me (smile). I’m just going to stick with vlogging until I change my mind again. So, if you’re interested in my post-episode reflections on my discussion with Jamila White regarding her decision to exit the ‘aid’ sector, click on the video below and have a look/listen.

If you’ve been pondering an exit, I’d love to hear all about your ‘aid’ sector exit strategy. And if you’re formerly of the sector, what was that ‘thing’ that made you finally take the big leap of faith?
