Patriarchy in My First Language – Mfumo dume
Read MoreRead MorePamela Shao lives in Tanzania and currently works for UNICEF as the Chief of Field Office in Mbeya, a city located in the Southern Highlands regions of Tanzania. She has a long career path in the field of humanitarian relief and development, formerly working for World Vision, UNHCR, and the World Food Programme. We met Pamela in 2015 on a vision trip with World Vision that she co-led and were so impressed by her nuanced and wise culturally sensitive approach to social change. This past year, she participated as an advisor in the production of an animated “explainer” video called Understanding Our History of Patriarchy which traces the broad arc of the history of our world’s oldest oppression which over many centuries became encoded into tradition and still lives on in our world today. Soon after the video was released, Pamela proposed the idea of translating the video into Kiswahili to contextualize and extend the reach of the video.

Increase investments in Black-led organizations that connect individuals and families to a wide array of resources and build power in our communities to lead substantive change.
