Tavonga Clarah Chauke is a student at the South African Law School. She applied to be a TEDxYouth@CapeTown speaker because of her passion for the development of Millennials, especially in Africa. “I want to share my personal life experiences in this journey of understanding what being an African Feminist means,” she says.
Tavonga is inspired by a young feminist named Farai Mubaiwa who she says, “is the real definition of a mogul. She is also passionate about the growth and development of young black women.”
