There’s something incredibly honest about naming the fear that comes with obedience, especially when it affects your family. Flo’s question of “have I failed them?” is so real.

What does it mean to answer a global calling as a woman and transform scholarship and succession planning across continents? In this episode of More Precious Than Rubies, I’m joined by Flo Kagwamba whose journey from Nairobi to the United States is fueled by a passion for education, and stewardship. We’ll talk about the joys and challenges as a woman in male-dominated spaces, balancing family with calling, and trusting God through every transition.
