Nontombi Naomi Tutu

After more than two years of COVID-19, the world will never be the same. The disease showed us our weaknesses in communities, our country and the world. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing, says the Rev. Naomi Tutu. The Race and Gender Justice Activist and daughter of Archbishop Desmond Tutu says it gives us the chance to create a brighter future, where everyone can thrive. In this keynote, Naomi shares the challenges she faced growing up Black and female in apartheid South Africa and the lessons we can learn from it. You’ll also learn how our differences are just opportunities and how the foundation for a just society is where we accept others and recognize the potential for greatness in each of us. Whether in the workplace, university or school or just your community, these are tools we can all use to help build a just world. Naomi customizes her content for specific audiences, including:
