Arese Ugwu
Women Unlimited
Hosted by Arese, the show explores how African women build influence emotionally, financially, socially, and institutionally and what that actually looks like in real life. These are conversations with women who are already inside decision-making rooms, or deliberately positioning themselves to enter them. We talk about money and leverage, institutions and incentives, social capital, reputation, and how ambition reshapes identity. Women Unlimited is for women who want language for what they’re already navigating and clarity about how to move.
