About this episode

Elizabeth Marami shares her inspiring journey as a trailblazer in the maritime industry.

Turning the tide "Rejection is just another wave to ride." These words by Elizabeth Marami echo far beyond the deck of a ship—they speak to every woman daring to defy the odds. Listen to Liz Marami; she is a trailblazer in every sense of the word. She was the first female pilot in the Port of Mombasa, the first woman onboard many ships, and the first person of colour on the bridge of a cruise ship. She doesn't stop there; she has more ambition, wanting to make a change, and by simply being herself, she is changing how the world views women in the maritime industry. This is an episode you'll want to listen to. Liz's story will inspire you and motivate you to support her as she moves forward. #everyconversationmatters
