Bio
I was born and bred in the mountain kingdom of Lesotho. I am a stroyteller who finds expression through poetry, prose and public speaking. I believe words are a healing agent, which when used correctly can uplift and restore. I'm highly analytical. This trait expresses itself through my love for Mathematics - a subject I thoroughly enjoy teaching. I have a strong conviction for speaking on behalf of the marginalised, so I constantly align my activities with the ability to shine a light on the issues 'minorities' face in whatever spaces I move in.
I'm passionate about
Feminism, Art, African Literature, Mathematics, History, Politics
An idea worth spreading
"The feeling of love is the highest frequency you can emit. The greater the love you feel and emit, the greater the power you are harnessing."
Areas of expertise
African Literature, Education, Mathematics, Poetry, Public Speaking, Writing
The TED story
I was first introduced to TED at a workshop - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's 'Single Story'. The talk had a great impact on my worldview. I was amazed at the simplicity of packaging a short speech and making it available online to thousands of people around the world.
