A native of South Africa, Nyasha has devoted her efforts to fighting xenophobia by founding the GlobalCitizen Campaign and spreading the message of ubuntu. The word “ubuntu” comes from the the Zulu language and is translated as “humanity.” The philosphy behind ubuntu is based upon a person having a greater sense and under-standing of community and humanity as a whole.

Nyasha hopes the campaign will raise xenophobia awareness worldwide and promote unity and understanding by teaching people of all races and nationalities to live as global citizens. The three main components of the campaign are a t-shirt line, benefit concert in South Africa and book drive all used to raise funds and resources for the underprivileged or suffering within in the five sectors and charities that benefit from the GCC. The five sectors are education, health, human rights, livelihood and U.S. Troops rehabilitation. Visit www.globalcitizencampaign.org for more info and learn how you can become involved.
