Turning Points Episode 2: Just Graduated, Now What?
In this episode, Angella sits down with Lindiwe Mutungamiri, a Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program Alumni from Ashesi University and Arizona State University, who recently completed her master’s in Computer Science. Lindiwe opens up about navigating the in-between stage of life after graduation, balancing the reality of paying bills in the U.S. while holding onto her bold dream of building a multi-billion-dollar company in Africa that creates jobs and impact.
We talk about the power of community, how friendships shift after school, and the grounding affirmations from her mother that continue to fuel her confidence and authenticity. Lindiwe also shares her refreshing take on success, why she’s not pressured by external timelines, and why internal motivation guides her every step. It’s an honest, inspiring conversation about ambition, resilience, and defining success on your own terms.
