Amanda Khozi Mukwashi wants to change the conversation on race, gender and identity. The #UnitedNations Resident Coordinator in #Lesotho has written a book exploring the struggle for equality and the historical baggage of slavery and colonization. “I realized I'm a black person and that people see the color of my skin first, before they see who I am and what I'm capable of doing…that was the rude awakening,” she told UN Global Communications chief melissarfleming on our 'Awake At Night' podcast. In their conversation, Amanda reflects on the discrimination she has faced, the rich family history she inherited from her grandmother and discovering her own multifaceted identity. 🎧You can listen to her inspiring story wherever you get your podcasts.
