Her Media Diary Episode 37: "Sustainability in a Traumatized, Resource-starved Landscape" with Omnia Shawkat & Raghdan Orsud
Omnia Shawkat & Raghdan Orsud are two remarkable women who have co-founded media organizations (Andariya and Beam Reports) dedicated to serving the Sudanese community. Their journey is not only inspiring but also highlights the challenges faced by female entrepreneurs in a male-dominated industry.
As female co-founders, Omnia and Ragdan reflect on the unique challenges they encounter in the media sector. They share their experiences of navigating a male-dominated environment and the importance of networking and supporting other women in the field. Their dedication to empowering future generations of female journalists and media creators is evident in their initiatives aimed at bridging the experience gap.
Omnia and Ragdan's journeys are testaments to resilience, creativity, and the pursuit of truth in the media. Their work not only aims to inform but also to inspire and uplift their community. Their conversation also touches on the broader implications of their work, particularly in the context of Sudan's ongoing political and social struggles.
