What happens when we begin to see what has remained unseen—and create the conditions for people to speak what has remained unspeakable?
Sophie Jama Malindi explores power, voice and transformation through speaking, leadership work, coaching, film and writing. Her work sits at the intersection of personal experience and larger questions about how we lead, how power operates, whose voices are heard, and what becomes possible when we are willing to see and say what others have overlooked.
We often think of power as the ability to influence, decide, control or lead.
But power can also be the ability to listen. To make space. To tell the truth. To restore what has been disrupted.
Sophie's work asks what happens when we look beneath the surface of our organizations, communities and relationships—and begin to notice what has been silenced, overlooked or left unnamed.
Because sometimes the most important shift begins with seeing what everyone else has learned not to see.
Keynotes and conversations that challenge audiences to think differently about power, voice, leadership and change.
Workshops and leadership experiences that move beyond conventional training into deeper questions about how power, voice and culture actually operate.
Leadership and executive coaching for people navigating visibility, transition, power, change and the question of how to lead from a more authentic place.
Sophie's professional work is connected to a deeper creative and intellectual inquiry.
An evolving body of work exploring power, voice, silence and what happens when people finally say what has remained unsaid.
Stories of women, ancestry, memory, power and transformation—rooted in Sophie's journey back to Ethiopia.
Poetry, essays and longer-form work exploring identity, inheritance, belonging, silence and return.
Sophie Jama Malindi is a speaker, writer, filmmaker and leadership coach whose work has taken her from the United Nations to international stages, from refugee and newcomer leadership to film and storytelling.
Her work is shaped by a lifelong inquiry into power: who holds it, who is denied it, what happens when people reclaim their voice, and what we might learn by looking at power differently.
Bring Sophie into your organization, conference or leadership community for a conversation that goes beyond inspiration.
