About Inspire

Real stories.
African voices.
Global lessons.

Inspire with Shawn Dalmas brings young people together to learn from African stories and shape what comes next.

We explore those stories in themed podcast seasons, take the questions to campuses through Next Gen Tours and bring people from different fields together at the NextGen Summit. Community keeps the conversation going.

Meet Shawn Dalmas

Shawn hosts Inspire’s long-form conversations with African voices. He asks guests about the choices and setbacks behind their work, and gives them time to tell their stories in their own words.

Each conversation offers a closer look at how people build careers, lead and create.

Story before status.
