In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, we sit down with Blessing Douglas — entrepreneur, mental health advocate, and development leader — to unpack one of Africa’s biggest challenges: the gap between policy and enforcement.
We explore how weak compliance systems, lack of accountability, and poor data practices impact mental health services, governance, privacy, and development across the continent. From working in IDP camps in Nigeria to navigating Medicaid mental health systems in the U.S., Blessing shares real-world insight into what works, what fails, and what must change.
This episode dives deep into:
Why Africa has policies but struggles with enforcement
Mental health stigma and cultural barriers
Data privacy, compliance, and accountability gaps
The contrast between African and Western systems
Entrepreneurship, leadership, and building impact-driven solutions
Lessons from working in tech, development, and mental health
This is not theory — this is lived experience, hard truths, and forward-thinking solutions.
📌 If you care about Africa’s future, governance, mental health, or building real systems that work — this episode is for you.
