Oops!
Elizabeth Nyamayaro s memoir,
I Am a Girl From Africa, is not just a recitation of her life s events. Instead, in poetic and powerful ways, the former United Nations senior advisor shows how both momentous obstacles and seemingly insignificant interactions can be transformative in how you see the world
and change the world. In Nyamayaro s case, that change has included her UN initative, HeForShe, which has become one of the most formidable catalysts for gender equity. In honor of the release of her book on April 20, Nyamayaro sat down with close friend and fellow humanitarian Anne Hathaway. During the wide-ranging and inspirational conversation, they unpack the building blocks of compassion, the changes in perspective that need to occur to move the needle on gender parity, and why the African principle of Ubuntu may be the key to a better, more empathetic world.
