About Me
With more than 15 years of experience as a social innovator, Nyasha has skillfully fused Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) strategies into various facets of organizations in multiple sectors. Serving as the CEO of Bubbles and Bridges, she has pioneered the development of forward-thinking DEI methodologies tailored to diverse entities, including boards of directors within small, mid-size, and multinational organizations, education departments, and government agencies. Her influential programs have made a profound impact, benefiting over half a million professionals globally.
Her journey includes an executive role in a $3 billion healthcare network, representing her birth continent as Miss Africa, a recording artist, activist, and entrepreneur. Her childhood upbringing in the apartheid era in southern Africa and growing up in the US taught her the importance of a global perspective. With her first startup, Embrace Your Hair, she crafted an inclusive business model with Africa's second-largest retail conglomerate, gaining recognition in Forbes magazine for her work in 2013. Nyasha earned a Bachelor's in Philosophy and Ethics from Harvard University and an MBA from the University of St. Gallen. She speaks five languages and has traveled to 30 countries.
