🎙️ Day 16: Africana Woman Network Podcast Featuring Chulu Chansa

Today’s spotlight is on an incredibly inspiring woman and a phenomenal podcaster: Chulu Chansa, the host of the award-winning Africana Woman Network Podcast. If you haven’t heard of her yet, let me be the one to introduce you to someone who's redefining what it means to empower African women.

Who is Chulu Chansa?

Born in Zambia and educated across three continents, Chulu Chansa is a powerhouse in the podcasting world and beyond. She’s the CEO & Founder of Africana Woman, a luxury wellness brand designed to uplift African women both on the continent and in the diaspora. With a strong foundation in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Chulu is passionate about building community and helping women embrace their authenticity.

Her podcast, Africana Woman with Chulu, isn’t just a show—it’s a movement. She’s taken it on a national tour, hosted transformative masterclasses, and is even launching a festival—all on her own terms. No permission needed, no apologies given.

About the Episode

In this episode, Chulu takes a few moments to share her vision and mission before introducing her guest. Her ability to articulate her thoughts and passion is something I really admire. Even before the guest appears, you’re already hooked by the energy and purpose she brings to the conversation.

You’ll hear her discuss her journey as a creator, the challenges of living in Zambia during power rationing, and the bold steps she’s taking to build an empire rooted in community. Her voice, both figuratively and literally, is a guiding light for African women worldwide.

Why This Matters

I’ve had the honor of collaborating with Chulu on various occasions, and I can genuinely say she is a great soul. Her unapologetic commitment to creating safe, empowering spaces for women is as rare as it is necessary. Whether she’s speaking on empowerment, wellness, or entrepreneurship, Chulu brings fire, authenticity, and wisdom to the table.

Did you know she once lived abroad as part of the African diaspora? That global experience deeply informs her unique and powerful perspective.

If you’re looking for a podcast that truly empowers, this is it. Chulu Chansa is more than a voice—she’s a movement. Don’t miss out!
