We have a very special #WorldKindnessDay collaboration for you for this weeks’ Women of the Future podcast.
We’ve joined up with the wonderful people @teamkind2 (Twitter) and @teamkinduk (Instagram) for KindFest 2022 - the global virtual kindness festival featuring politicians, performers, broadcasters, authors, entrepreneurs and policy makers, now in its third year and advocating for radical #kindness.
Joining Kim Rowell on this podcast episode, is the remarkable Waad Al-Kateab, a Syrian journalist, filmmaker and activist.
Her documentary, For Sama (2019), was nominated for 4 BAFTAs at the 73rd British Academy Awards, winning Best Documentary; it was also nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 92nd Academy Awards, with Waad going on to receive the 2021 Academy Gold Fellowship for Women.
Waad’s coverage of the Battle for Aleppo won an International Emmy Award for Current Affairs & News for Channel 4 News, and amongst numerous other accolades, including the Chairman’s Award at the Asian Women of Achievement Awards (part of the Women of the Future Programme) this year, Waad has also been included as one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People.
