• December 2018
Tanzeela Qambrani is an activist, a computer scientist, and a politician. She belongs to the often overlooked and much exploited Sheedi community of Pakistan. The Sheedis trace their lineage to Africa, from where their ancestors were enslaved, shipped to Asia and sold into human bondage. In this talk she recounts a very personal journey of empowerment to becoming the first Afro-Pakistani woman MPA - a journey which echoed the struggle of her ancestors to win their freedom.
