Sophie Jama Malindi is a women empowerment and social justice leader. After a 14 year career in the United Nations, Sophie began pursuing her individual calling: sharing her journey of being a young Ethiopian refugee, separated from her parents, integrating her own story within a narrative of change. Sophie aims to heal inter-generational wounds by speaking the ‘unspeakable’, breaking the narrative of silence. She is currently writing a book, Soul Child: Speaking the Unspeakable.
Sophie has a broad experience in managing cause-driven programs for global humanitarian organizations that consistently won funding from public and private sector partners. A motivating leader, she is passionate about creating a workplace culture where all team members have a voice, while championing impactful advocacy initiatives in the areas of women and youth empowerment.
Her hallmarks include creating safe inclusive spaces for courageous conversations, conflict resolution, breaking down disempowering narratives, and authentic team engagement.
Sophie is a student on the Master's programme in Consciousness, Spirituality and Transpersonal Psychology with Alef Trust, in partnership with LJMU.
