520    "The inspiring journey of a girl from Africa whose near-
       death experience sparked a dream that changed the world. 
       When severe drought hit her village in Zimbabwe, Elizabeth,
       then eight, had no idea that this moment of utter 
       devastation would come to define her life purpose. Unable 
       to move from hunger, she encountered a United Nations aid 
       worker who gave her a bowl of warm porridge and saved her 
       life. This transformative moment inspired Elizabeth to 
       become a humanitarian, and she vowed to dedicate her life 
       to giving back to her community, her continent, and the 
       world. Grounded by the African concept of ubuntu - "I am 
       because we are" - I Am a Girl from Africa charts 
       Elizabeth's quest in pursuit of her dream from the small 
       village of Goromonzi to Harare, London, New York, and 
       beyond, where she eventually became a Senior Advisor at 
       the United Nations and launched HeForShe, one of the 
       world's largest global solidarity movements for gender 
       equality. For over two decades, Elizabeth has been 
       instrumental in creating change in communities all around 
       the world; uplifting the lives of others, just as her life
       was once uplifted. The memoir brings to vivid life one 
       extraordinary woman's story of persevering through 
       incredible odds and finding her true calling - while 
       delivering an important message of hope and empowerment in
       a time when we need it most."--Publisher's website.
