Over the weekend, an episode of African Voices featuring Waje premiered.

The UN ambassador spoke on the importance of music to her as well as the impact that being brought up by her mother had on her.

She goes on to speak about Waje Safe House, which is all about supporting Non-Governmental Organisations and enabling them to give less privileged children a chance at their dreams.

Violence against women is also touched on and the singer argues that the next set of musicians that emerge must put social impact ahead of making money as she believes musicians and artistes are arguably the most influential people in our societies.
