A moon child, a motorbike racer, and South African feminist writer and scholar, Malebo Sephodi is an award-winning writer. Malebo’s debut non-fiction book, Miss Behave (published by BlackBird Books, 2017), won her the South African Literary Award for First-Time Published Author (2018). Her interdisciplinary work focuses on human development policy, gender, and information communications technology for development. She is also a contributor to The Agam Agenda’s anthology Harvest Moon: Poems and Stories from the Edge of the Climate Crisis.
Listen to our conversation as Malebo speaks about writing, activism, feminism, and nurturing a relationship with nature. She also tells us how her interdisciplinary work within and beyond academe is something she learned from her ancestors, most specifically, her grandmother.
