Originally trained as an anthropologist and linguist Mary Ann Mhina spent many years living and working in East and Southern Africa. She worked extensively on issues of mental health, disability and inclusion and was for seven years the Director of AbleChildAfrica.
Mary Ann has a life-long interest in women sharing their stories and her first book, "Listening to Our Grandmothers", in which older women do just that was published in September. She now divides her time between her own creative work as a writer and storyteller and working on projects with International NGOs. She is also a White Belt Nia Teacher & an Action Learning Facilitator as well as a former Chair of Lambeth Women's Aid.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
