A Post-Summit Reflection with Chisom Udeze & Sayantani Saha

In this raw and deeply honest episode of Overnight Wisdom, Chisom Udeze and Sayantani Saha sit down together—post-Diversify Summit—to unpack the emotional, financial, and logistical weight of pulling off the largest equity-focused gathering in the Nordics in a year defined by scarcity and uncertainty.

With warmth, exhaustion, and truth-telling, they reflect on the paradox of doing something extraordinary while feeling under-supported, under-resourced, and sometimes invisible.

They speak candidly about:

  • The pain and clarity of unmet expectations - particularly from those closest to the work
  • The quiet resilience of doing more with less, with a team of just two and a half people
  • The tension between hope and heartbreak in community work
  • Why sponsorships fell through as a result of the geopolitical era we exist in
  • The weight of visibility when you’re both the face and the labour behind the scenes
  • Navigating leadership during burnout, while still modeling integrity and care
  • The importance of clear boundaries, emotional self-preservation, and recalibrating trust
  • What it means to choose joy after disappointment, not in place of it

This is not a story of glossy wins. It’s a story of grit, grace, and honest reckoning. It’s about what it really takes to build something meaningful — when funding dries up, energy runs low, and the world doesn’t clap.

For anyone navigating purpose-driven work, leading through adversity, or holding space for others while carrying their own weight—this episode will feel like both a mirror and a balm.
