Today I am chatting with Aminata Conteh-Biger, founder & CEO of the Aminata Maternal Foundation and Special Representative for Australia with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). As we wrap up Season 12, Stories with Heart, it seems only fitting I share a story, also told through Aminata's autobiography Rising Heart, that’s full of passion, strength and life. A former refugee from Sierra Leone, Aminata has seen unimaginable trauma and a gentle warning, this episode does contain sensitive material. Aminata may take hold of her own story however she never lets adversity define her style. Instead, she exudes an infectious deep-seated confidence that carries the unabashed colour and charisma she graciously wears on her sleeve. And while she may have been taught to find beauty from within it’s her style to act out and impel others to do the same.
