Dr. Vee Kativhu: Igniting Optimism by Chasing her Dreams & Changing Lives
About this episode
Ready for a dose of inspiration? This week on The Optimist Project, Yara Shahidi sits in conversation with Gen Z global phenom, educator, author, and activist, Dr. Vee Kativhu, about chasing dreams, facing challenges, and lifting others as you rise.
Dr. Vee gets real about how self-care can be the perfect shield against criticism, the importance and the power of community in grounding optimism, and how important her work in higher education is in breaking barriers for girls and young women in Zimbabwe and around the world.
Resilience, empowerment, and a hopeful heart CAN turn dreams into reality!
