About the Conversation: 
“A future of Equality starts with fair access to items of basic need,” says Emer Butler, a TEDxYouth@CapeTown speaker that took to our stage in 2018. 

Currently, a junior software engineer and a passionate social entrepreneur, Emer started the organisation Ntombi (https://ntombi.org/) - an organisation removing menstruation as a barrier to work, life, and play. Like most during this time, her life has evolved and she has shifted her focus to assisting those in need and providing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and specifical masks to those who need it most, through her organisation Afika (https://www.afika.co/). 

In this conversation, we learned about her decision to pivot her focus to providing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the impact her organisation is having, and how you as the public can support her initiatives.
