Growing up in refugee camps in Ethiopia and Kenya set Nyadol Nyuon on a path that would shape her journey so far. A lawyer, human rights and multiculturalism advocate, writer and accomplished public speaker, Nyadol has lived a thousand lives in one. So how does she deal with her friend imposter syndrome, what advice does she have when it comes to combating racism and how does she tune out of a busy world? Nyadol’s perspective on everything from sport to politics to learning, are unlike any other, while her ability to empathise with, and empower others, is a masterstroke in life lessons.
