It's this idea that, yes, it's this extraordinary pain, you're not pushing it away and you're not saying I'm not going to go there, but I'm going to have that support in there.
Ever wondered how a mother-daughter duo navigates the complexities of activism and personal growth? In this episode of 'How to Be Sad', Helen Russell chats with Mungi Ngomane and her mother, Reverend Nontombi Naomi Tutu. Both women, deeply rooted in the principles of Ubuntu, offer a unique perspective on living through apartheid and advocating for social justice.
Mungi, a human rights activist and author of 'Everyday Ubuntu', brings her rich experience of growing up under the guidance of her grandfather, Archbishop Desmond Tutu. She shares how these experiences shaped her worldview and commitment to community support. Her mother, Reverend Naomi Tutu, adds another layer to the conversation with her journey from resisting the call to ministry to becoming a priest and social justice activist in her 50s.
Their stories are not just about their personal struggles but also about the power of community and the importance of having difficult conversations. They discuss how storytelling can be a healing process and why embracing our emotions is crucial for personal growth. This episode isn't just a deep dive into their lives but also a lesson in how we can all apply the principles of Ubuntu—'I am because you are'—in our daily lives.
Helen Russell guides this heartfelt conversation with empathy and curiosity, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in activism, emotional well-being, or simply understanding the human condition better. Tune in to hear how these remarkable women have turned their challenges into lifelong missions for change.
