Njoki Ngumi is a nomadic doctor in general practice, currently based at Nairobi's Pumwani Maternity Hospital. She is also a Program Coordinator at The NEST. Her favourite way to interact with audiences is through forum theatre events, in which she facilitates spectator dialogue around difficult social issues, midwifes the birth of conflict around new ideas and serves cake at the end. Find her on Twitter at @njokingumi.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
