In Her Own Name

What happens when you stop waiting for permission and build the system yourself?

In this powerful episode of In Her Own Name, host Lillian Ogbogoh is joined by Nanna Saoirse Soenya, founder of OmegaSeven Global and architect of The FundHerShip Grant Initiative. This revolutionary, self-sustaining model provides £10,000 per month to Black and Brown women in the UK.

Nanna is known as The Mother of Systems, and for good reason. Her work dismantles outdated structures and reimagines what access, equity, and sustainability look like for women who have historically been shut out.

Together, we explore:
💡 What it takes to design an ecosystem where women truly thrive
💸 The radical thinking behind The FundHerShip Grant
🧱 Why infrastructure, not inspiration, is what creates real freedom
🔥 Her lived experiences that shaped this mission and message

This is a masterclass in vision, systems, and showing up for the women who are too often expected to figure it out with scraps.

What does it mean to lead systems with soul? To enter boardrooms shaped by inequity, and bring both legal rigour and lived wisdom?

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Deirdre LaBassiere, a governance strategist, legal mind, and changemaker who has turned policy into purpose across housing, health, nonprofit, and cultural sectors.

Deirdre shares her extraordinary journey, from navigating homelessness and illness to becoming a nationally respected voice in ethical leadership. As Chair of WAITS, The Legacy Centre of Excellence, and the West Midlands Board for Common Purpose, she is a woman reshaping power from the inside out.

We talk:
⚖️ What “governance with soul” looks like in practice
🛠️ How lived experience builds stronger systems
🎙️ Why visibility in leadership, especially for Black women, is radical
💡 Lessons from a legacy led by courage, equity, and compassion

This is more than a leadership episode. It’s a masterclass in transformation.

👗 How she went from accountant to international stylist
🏡 The leap of faith that changed everything
🎓 Launching the Potential U Academy to mentor the next generation
