Joanna Henry

Whether it was floods in Mozambique or famine in Malawi, Joanna Henry’s job as part of a disaster aid team in Africa began to make her feel part of a “colonizing” power, fuelled by and serving the interests of western nations. Searching for a better way, she discovered and joined the “feminist, ethical, founded on equity” work of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. Her profoundly felt dedication to interviewing the African grandmothers and writing this books was truly “powered by love.” This is Joanna’s first book.
