The Atalaku Effect

Hi, Bonjour, Oi! I am Claudel Kamgang! I am Cameroonian by birth, French by education, Brazilian by adoption, and entrepreneurially American.

Welcome to The Atalaku Effect! Atalaku is a word from Congo, and means "praising". Atalaku to someone thus means praising that person for what she does. After my MBA from Wharton, work at J.P Morgan, McKinsey & Company, LinkedIn and currently Microsoft, it is time to do more.

This podcast is a set of in-depth conversations or solo episodes in English and French, about everything culture, work, sports, relationships, life struggles and everything in-between.

If you are human, this podcast has something for you :)

[ENGLISH] - (Part 3/3) Conversation with Augusta Irele, Africana Studies Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Pennsylvania

August 04, 2019 • Claudel Kamgang • Season 1 • Episode 13

In this last and final part, Augusta Atinuke Irele (Nigeria), Africana Studies PhD candidate at the prestigious University Of Pennsylvania, tells us about what it means for her to be African. The conversation then moves to the place of literature in Africa, and how the new ways we consume content (social media, video, podcasts, etc.) is eventually going to reshape literature and maybe even how we should think about delivering knowledge to the youth. Augusta finishes with a powerful message in Yoruba. Enjoy!
