Our last episode is a special one, hosted between two friends. Rachel Kagoiya (FEMNET Communications Lead) and Anasuya Sengupta (Whose Knowledge? Co-founder and Co-director) sit down to speak about the journey from the first Decolonizing the Internet in Cape Town, to Decolonizing the Internet: East Africa (DTI) and so much more!
