What happens when a woman steps into a leadership position that has only ever been held by men? And what happens when she decides to run… just two weeks before elections? In this episode of Difference She Makes, we sit down with Natasha Ali Erry, Advocate of the High Court of Kenya and Chairperson of the Mombasa Law Society, to unpack mentorship, audacity, leadership, and the quiet pressure women face to shrink once they enter power. Natasha shares: Why she decided to run for chairperson 14 days before electionsThe role mentorship and allies played in her winThe difference between mentorship, sponsorship, allies, and role modelsWhat it means to institutionalize mentorship for young women lawyersThe pressure to lead “like the previous chairs”, who were all menWhy women must resist shedding themselves to succeedAnd the powerful reminder: “Don’t shrink yourself. The room has to adjust to fit you.”Join the Legally Clueless Africa community: Newsletter: www.legallycluelessafrica.com/ Instagram: www.instagram.com/legallycluelessafrica/ TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@legallycluelessafrica YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/LegallyCluelessYoutube Share your story: forms.gle/kMn7Wae5N563JFGQ8
