Hailing from Zimbabwe, Tapiwa shares her experiences working across multiple countries, promoting Afrocentric solutions to complex social issues within prison and rural communities. Her journey spans from a rural upbringing in Zimbabwe, where her resilience and commitment to advocacy took root, to her role in Sweden with LM International, where she now contributes to global dialogue on religious literacy and community-centered interventions. Tapiwa discusses her academic journey in economics, her activism for women's rights, and her transformative roles in South Africa and Norway, where she worked with survivors of sexual violence, sex workers, and prison communities.
