Показать описание

After spending a majority of her life feeling unseen and unheard, Sophie set up a company, TruVoice, a dedicated platform to amplifying voices of women and marginalised communities so that they are fully heard and seen as a fundamental human need. Sometimes, giving people who do not have a voice a platform is all it takes to bring the darkness into light. Sophie Jama Malindi is an international keynote TEDx Speaker and women empowerment leader. After a 14 year career in the United Nations, Sophie began pursuing her individual calling: sharing her journey of being a young Ethiopian refugee, separated from her parents,
integrating her own story within a narrative of change. Sophie aims to heal inter-generational wounds by speaking the ‘unspeakable’ and breaking the narrative of silence. Sophie has a broad experience in managing cause-driven programs for global humanitarian organizations. A motivating leader, she is passionate about creating a workplace culture

Sophie. I told you I was going to watch tomorrow but I couldn’t wait. This is impeccable. Having walked alongside you for the past 20+ years I am awe-struck and humbled, though not at all surprised, by your grace and humility in telling your raw truths to the world. Thank you for being you. Love you.

Haven spoken to live audiences on a few occasions I can tell you now how hard it can be. Regardless of the nerves you felt, you absolutely nailed it Sophie in controlling those nerves and delivered your talk with great eloquence, poise and control.
Thank you Sophie for allowing us to know a little more about you by revealing your painful past, that obviously has shaped you into being a most caring human being, which is to be admired as many choose their pain to not only destroy their own lives but the lives of everyone they come into contact with, as that is the easier option.
