BIO – HANI DU TOIT

As a Muslim woman, Hani is inspired by the possibility of breaking invisible barriers and increasing human to human connection. She carries this love into her work as a Conversation Coach teaching conflict resolution at corporates and universities, in boardrooms and townships, locally and abroad.

She writes poetry and memoir to expand her self-awareness, grapple with her own life struggles and have greater ability to recognise the golden light in every human being. Her children’s book, Just Like Me, created through the Book Dash project, was cited as a model for writing about inclusion for children and has recently been translated into Urdu for distribution in Pakistan.

Depending on the day or season, you could find Hani cooking up a storm, facilitating team cohesion, painting in water colour or oils, or nursing her tiny vegetable garden… if she’s not writing a poem of course!
