If You Were In Charge

If You Were In Charge with Sanam Naraghi Anderlini

Each episode, she tackles a major global challenge but flips the script. Instead of hearing from politicians and pundits, Sanam talks to the frontline doers and imaginers—activists, organizers, and peacebuilders—whose lived experience, courage, and ideas are reshaping what’s possible. People who, if they were in charge, could change the world.

Exploring what they’re already achieving, what they could do with greater power and money, and, most importantly, what gives them hope.

Join Sanam and her daughter, Soleh, each week as they reimagine a better future with thought-provoking discussions and insights from leading global experts.

If You Were In Charge is brought to you by the Bijan Ghaisar Foundation and ICAN (International Civil Society Action Network).

This is an Africa Digital Audio (ADA) Production.
