The Brand is Female: championing Ubuntu and Black History Month

The Brand Is Female has launched two inspiring podcasts by black female creatives to mark this year’s Black History Month.
One of them is by Mungi Ngomane, author of the best-selling self-help book Everyday Ubuntu: Living Better together, the African Way.
Human rights Activist Mungi, who is the granddaughter of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, hosts a podcast that examines the power of the South African philosophy of Ubuntu and its belief in the universal human bond between us all.
How a commitment to respect and care for our fellow human beings while understanding our own weaknesses can resolve conflict and heal divisions.
The practice of Ubuntu has long been championed by Archbishop Tutu and Mungi is a patron of the Tutu Foundation UK.
Her  Brand is Female podcast includes conversations with inspiring personalities from around the world who fight for causes they believe in, recognize their own weaknesses and continue making the world a better, more inclusive place.
Also podcast is On My Plate, with chef Bianca Osbourne who argues that the secret to uncovering the true essence of  someone might just be through their stomach.
On My Plate is a weekly podcast hosted by the Toronto-based culinary professional who is joined by a new guest weekly to reveal how our relationship with food has more to say about who we are than what meets the eye.

Meanwhile Mungi has written a piece highlighting 28 black female firsts with a list of pioneers, teachers and glass-ceiling breakers. One each day for  this February’s Black History Month.

Footnote: All comments are, quite rightly, from  an international perspective. Black History Month in the UK is of course October.
