Zeddy sits down with Dr. Zippy Okoth, Kenya’s first to earn a PhD in Theatre Arts, award-winning filmmaker, gender consultant and unapologetic storyteller who has turned heartbreak into healing and art into activism. From a mattress-only restart to sold-out one-woman shows, from the silence of divorce to the spotlight of red carpets, this is not just an interview. It is a masterclass in resilience, laughter and rewriting your own narrative. In this episode, we unpack: ☀️The “mattress only” moment and what freedom really costs. 💡Why African women must learn to laugh through pain. ☀️The “Foolish 40s” and the beauty of loving again, loudly. 💡How theatre heals wounds therapy can’t always reach. ☀️What it means to rebuild a life, not for validation, but for joy. 💬 “We are not selling theatre, we are selling an experience.” – Dr. Zippy Okoth 🔥 This conversation is part of The Power Dialogue Africa, a platform spotlighting Africa’s boldest thinkers, doers, and dreamers from grassroots innovators to government officials to continental icons. We share powerful, practical blueprints of resilience, wellness and strategic growth, bringing Africa’s excellence, wisdom, and power closer to you, one authentic story, one remarkable place, one honest conversation at a time. 🔔
