Adelle had the following to say when she heard that Legally clueless was among the top three most listened to podcasts in Kenya.
“2 years after founding my podcast, Legally Clueless, it’s very clear to me that we are in the middle of a great shift in the media space...
A shift that I believe is very important for Africans because we can finally have full agency over our voices, stories, and issues that affect our communities in a manner that is unbiased or censored...
On my podcast we have various Africans sharing stories from their lived realities and it has resulted in us learning more about each other and realizing our similarities, differences, and most importantly, our raw strengths... I’m very excited about the podcasting space in Africa.”
