Golpo | Stories From Around the World

This week’s episode from Africa brings together myriad themes of #SpeakingUp #Truth #Whistleblowing #Proactiveness #ActionTakers

If you want to encourage a listener to speak up, or talk, retell this story by assuring a safe space for freedom of speech and opinion.

Celebrate the power of voice by sharing what happens when you speak up.

Tell this story to juxtapose the need to speak up when things go wrong. Or, despite if things go wrong.
