MIMI REGALES AUDIENCES WITH FAMILY STORIES
Mimi Kwa speaks regularly at book festivals and events sharing extraordinary personal experiences across cultures, continents, gender and generations, mesmerising gatherings with compelling tales, straight from her memoir, House of Kwa.
Mimi's public speaking guidance totally revolutionised how I was discussing Irena’s Gift. With practical tips and tools from her own years of experience as a journalist behind the camera, and as a bestselling author, Mimi helped me distil an epic, complex and sometimes traumatic story and taught me how to connect with audiences in a relatable way. Mimi’s coaching was invaluable and I only wish I had undertaken it earlier.
