in this episode, I speak from the heart on my own struggles with finding and accepting my voice. I discuss the dual need to both be visible/seen and invisible/hidden. I am following the echo and calling of Audre Lorde's essay "On the transformation of silence into language and action" in which she asks, "what are the words you do not yet have? what do you need to say?". I weave in some of the voices that appeared in my consciousness as I speak these words, in recognition of our collective and shared consciousness.

Happy Easter! HEP Talks has a lot of new content coming up, but today we're going to return to an episode that deserves more attention. If you haven't heard it yet, you're in for a treat. In this episode, Evelyn Davies, a HEP leadership consultant, interviews Mungi Ngomane, author and granddaughter of Desmond Tutu, about her book and the concept of Ubuntu, the African philosophy of interconnectedness. Topics include human dignity and respect, her book Everyday Ubuntu: Living better together, the African way, and how Ubuntu can relate to education.

What is Ubuntu and why do I love it so much ? Some of this are excerpts from Mungi Ngomane. Also the many YT videos I watched to be able to announce Xhosa correctly! Just listen

It was a joy to interview author, public speaker and human rights activist, Mungi Ngomane. Mungi is the granddaughter of Archbishop Emeritus Desdomnd Tutu.She has taken the lessons he taught her growing up and translated them in a modern way in her book: Everyday Ubuntu.Making them attainable and easily applied to every day life. Everyday Ubuntu: Living Together, The African Way, explores the concept that all humans share a universal bond."Ubuntu is a Xhosa word originating from a South African philosophy that encapsulates all our aspirations about how to live life well, together. It is the belief in a universal human bond: I am only because you are."Her mother Reverend Nontomei Naomi Tutu joins us briefly, too.Sometimes the most simple concepts are the hardest to apply. Both these women show us ways to make it a bit easier!

In this episode of HEP Talks, Evelyn Davies, a HEP leadership consultant, interviews Mungi Ngomane, author and granddaughter of Desmond Tutu, about her book and the concept of Ubuntu, the African philosophy of interconnectedness. Topics include human dignity and respect, her book Everyday Ubuntu: Living better together, the African way, and how Ubuntu can relate to education, among others. We hope this HEP Talk will be an inspiring start to the new academic year, getting school leaders and teachers thinking about the ways in which Ubuntu could help socialise, energise, and unite their students and staff.

Melanie C. Gordon spoke about the Reverend Desmond Tutu describing Ubuntu as "my humanity is bound up in your humanity." That is the foundation of what we talked about in this episode. Melanie leads groups in Ubuntu Circles where we learn to connect through our personal stories. When we are open to hearing someone else's story for understanding, we are transformed. It creates a sense of belonging, a shared humanity. She talked about her time in Rwanda after the genocide, and the filming of the interviews she made there while trying to understand the slow Christian response to the geneocide. She even found Ubuntu here. I was curious about how Ubuntu is accepted in Western cultures where the focus is more on individualism. In the Ubuntu circles people learn to listen for the individuality of each person, what makes them unique. Episode Takeaways: 1. Try to find joy and purpose in your life, everyday 2. Grow in compassion for others Thanks so much for listening.

I'm honoured to be joined by Mungi Ngomane, human rights activist, the granddaughter of Archbishop Desmond Tutu and author of Everyday Ubuntu - the book inspired by the African philosophy and way of life that counts Meghan Markle and Prince Harry among its fans. And with Mungi today is….her mum! Reverend Nontombi Naomi Tutu is a priest and social justice activist.  Growing up ‘the daughter of Archbishop Desmond Tutu' offered her opportunities as well as challenges. Not least, the call to ministry – something she resisted until she was finally ordained in her 50s.  Now works tirelessly both in her own community and for the advancement of women and girls globally. Both women are shining examples of what can happen when we live by the principles of Ubuntu – the South African philosophy of ‘I am because you are'. Here, Naomi, Mungi and Helen talk about: -       Naomi's experience of growing up in South Africa during apartheid -       Growing up an activist and having a sense of duty -       Getting all of us to have difficult conversations -       Telling the story as part of the healing process -       Why ‘boundaries' are the ultimate in self-care -       How community is everything -       Faith (spoiler alert: mother and daughter have very different views) -       Why Midsomer Murders and red wine can both help us to be sad, well Find out more about Mungi on Instagram @mungi.ngomane or on Twitter @EverydayUbuntu and you can read more about Everyday Ubuntu here.

This episode features an interview with Kassandra Churcher, former Executive Director of the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies and the current Assistant Director for Post-Secondary Education services for the Inuit in Nunavut.Our last podcast featured an interview with Nontombi Naomi Tutu and Mungi Ngomane who spoke about racial injustice and systemic racism in today's America. While the current movement of protest stems from events that have taken place in the US - police brutality, oppression and injustice - we would be wrong to assume that Canada is faring much better when it comes to systemic racism. We spoke about the issues from a Canadian standpoint with Kassandra Churcher, an advocate for education and women's issues whose work has been focused on supporting oppressed minorities in Canadian communities, from incarcerated women through her work at the Elizabeth Fry Societies and through her involvement with Aboriginal communities in Northern Quebec. Kassandra also shared her recommendations for the best way to support minorities and help fight racism in our everyday lives.This season of The Brand is Female is brought to you by TD Bank - Women Entrepreneurs.
