SOPHIE JAMA MALINDI BIOGRAPHY

Sophie Jama Malindi is a Women Empowerment Leader. Sophie Jama Malindi has broad experience in managing cause-driven programs for global humanitarian organizations. After a 14-year career in the United Nations, Sophie Jama Malindi began pursuing her calling sharing her journey of being a young Ethiopian refugee, and integrating her own story within a narrative of change. Sophie Jama Malindi aims to heal inter-generational wounds by speaking about the ‘unspeakable’ and breaking the narrative of silence.

Sophie Jama Malindi has broad experience in managing cause-driven programs for global humanitarian organizations. A motivating leader, Sophie Jama Malindi 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.

After spending the majority of her life feeling unseen and unheard, Sophie Jama Malindi set up a dedicated platform to amplify the voices of women and marginalized communities so that they are fully heard and seen as a fundamental human need. Sometimes, giving people who do not have a voice a platform is all it takes to bring the darkness into the light.

Sophie Jama Malindi has a passion for helping women and marginalized groups reconnect to their courageous voices within, break down disempowering narratives, and show up powerfully in their professional and personal lives.  Sophie Jama Malindi worked in the United Nations for over a decade championing women and children across 190 countries in underserved communities and working to deliver critical resources, funding, and advocacy at global, national, and community levels.  Sophie Jama Malindi spent eight years in Africa, getting to know what it takes for change to happen at the grassroots, organizational, and systemic levels and using equity six for years in Europe.

Using equity-based and inclusive approaches at the global level, Sophie Jama Malindi has also consulted and coached top executives in DEI, working to build strategies for companies in Canada for a more sustainable, equitable working environment.

Sophie Jama Malindi has been invited to speak at global influential events on platforms such as the World Biodiversity Forum in Davos. Her talks center around the need to provide people who do not have a voice a platform and to share the benefits of ‘Speaking the Unspeakable’ so that those who feel unseen and unheard can be part of and contribute meaningfully at all levels of society.

Sophie Jama Malindi Speaking Testimonials

"I cannot begin to imagine the internal work that Sophie Jama Malindi has had to do in order to be able to share her personal story on such a platform. Both her words and actions will definitely inspire more and more individuals to speak up against the effects of living in a patriarchal society."

Melanie Jacob

"Very powerful testimonial, thanks to Sophie Jama Malindi for sharing. We can help future generations by preventing abuse of girls under the caregivers roof if we are more aware of how often this is happening. May others be aware of possible perpetrators and take action to protect young girls from sexual abuse. She is amazing lady."
