This week my guest is Mungi Ngomane, Social Justice Advocate and Author of the book Everyday Ubuntu, inspired by the lessons from the South African philosophy and way of life. Mungi is the grand-daughter of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, anti-apartheid and Human Rights Activist who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for his efforts in resolving and ending apartheid in South Africa. In this exchange Mungi and I spoke about grief, because she lost her grandfather earlier this year. Grief is a topic we often leave out when it’s time to speak about mental health or wellness, and it is something we all experience - whether it’s caused by the loss of a loved one, or the grief we feel when something ends or is taken away in our lives. I hope you find this exchange helpful and comforting. Here is our conversation.
