Final Reflections of Can You Hear Us?: A Conversation with Madiera and Mónica

In the final episode of Can You Hear Us?, the CYHU team hosts Madiera and Mónica in discussing the evolution of the podcast and their final reflections on the field of international development, both as an area of study and as portrayed through the podcast; their experiences with mentorship and community building; and the camaraderie they've developed over  years of collaboration. Mónica, Madiera and the rest of the Can You Hear Us? Team would like to thank the LSE ID Communications Team for hosting their series, and hope that the next generation of international development leaders, especially black, indigenous women of color, continue to create these spaces as the sector continues to shift.
