Interesting memoir covering Nyamayaro’s upbringing in Zimbabwe, & her career in the UN & international humanitarian NGOs. I like I think I would have gotten more out of this book if I knew more about how international organizations such as the UN & WHO actually work. the parts about her youth in Zimbabwe are the most revealing about who Nyamayaro is as a person. The sections of the memoir that cover her international career feel much less personal. She doesn’t even mention being married, which would be an interesting topic to explore, even if only from the perspective of how she managed to find the time to have any sort of non-work relationship. I like the discussion of Ubuntu, & her depictions of the ways African communities attempt to provide for their own needs.
