Shudufhadzo Musida

Humanitarian, Author and Mental Health Champion | Humanitaire, auteur et championne de la santé mentale

Shudufhadzo 'Shudu' Musida is an Author and Mental Health Champion, whose journey is rooted in a deep commitment to humanitarian causes, shaped by her childhood experiences and an unwavering desire to uplift her community. Crowned as Miss South Africa in 2020, she transformed her title into a platform for meaningful change, dedicating her advocacy to mental health and sustainable development. Shudu's journey is deeply rooted in her belief in the transformative power of education. This belief was the bedrock of her academic pursuits, culminating in a Bachelor of Social Science degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from the University of Pretoria, followed by an Honours degree in International Relations from the University of Witwatersrand.

 

As the first Regional Champion for Eastern and Southern Africa with UNFPA, Shudu has become a force for sexual reproductive health rights and mental health. Her impactful work extends to the written word, with two authored books on mental health earning her well-deserved recognition.

 

Beyond her humanitarian endeavours, Shudu merges her passion for modelling and the entertainment industry. Highly selective about projects, she brings purpose to every initiative, placing immense importance on mental health, both in her personal life and as a central theme in her advocacy work.

Shudufhadzo 'Shudu' Musida est une auteure et une championne de la santé mentale, dont le parcours est ancré dans un engagement profond pour les causes humanitaires, façonné par ses expériences d'enfance et un désir inébranlable d'élever sa communauté. Couronnée Miss Afrique du Sud en 2020, elle a transformé son titre en une plateforme pour un changement significatif, consacrant son plaidoyer à la santé mentale et au développement durable. Le parcours de Shudu est profondément ancré dans sa croyance dans le pouvoir de transformation de l'éducation. Cette croyance a été le fondement de ses études, qui ont abouti à une licence en sciences sociales (philosophie, politique et économie) à l'université de Pretoria, suivie d'un diplôme spécialisé en relations internationales à l'université de Witwatersrand.

 

En tant que première championne régionale de l'UNFPA pour l'Afrique orientale et australe, Shudu est devenue une force pour les droits en matière de santé sexuelle et reproductive et de santé mentale. L'impact de son travail s'étend à l'écrit, avec deux livres sur la santé mentale qui lui ont valu une reconnaissance bien méritée.

 

Au-delà de ses efforts humanitaires, Shudu fusionne sa passion pour le mannequinat et l'industrie du divertissement. Très sélective dans ses projets, elle donne un sens à chaque initiative, en accordant une grande importance à la santé mentale, à la fois dans sa vie personnelle et en tant que thème central de son travail de plaidoyer.
