Better Than Yesterday with Osher Günsberg From Ambassador to Outcast in seven simple words with Yassmin Abdel-Magied
Author, Engineer and Activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied is a brilliant Australian.
While still a teenager, her activism earned her many accolades and praise - Young Australian Muslim of the Year and Young Queenslander of the Year.
Her 2014 TED Talk ‘What does my Headscarf mean to you’ launched her into a higher orbit and brilliantly addresses unconscious bias which like it or not we all have within us.
It’s well worth the watch.
Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop appointed her to the Council for Australian-Arab Relations and in late 2016, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) sent Abdel-Magied, as a CAAR board member, to several Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan, Egypt and Sudan, to promote Australia.
Her latest book "Talking about a Revolution" is out now.
