Mallence Bart-Williams is a Sierra Leonean-German activist, philanthropist, and multifaceted social entrepreneur. With a solid background in economics and finance, she has pursued her studies in Paris, Singapore, and Great Britain. Currently, Mallence operates globally, teaching at universities and online while managing LINEAGE, a vibrant cultural space located in Bali.

With her diverse cultural background, Mallence serves as a bridge connecting various communities and cultures. She leverages her unique perspective to develop innovative solutions to shared challenges. One of her key initiatives is FOLORUNSHO, a creative collective based in Freetown, Sierra Leone. This “SHARITY” initiative supports street children by successfully transitioning them from homelessness to education, utilizing creativity as a driving force without relying on donations.

Mallence’s impactful TEDx talk, titled “CHANGE YOUR CHANNEL,” is a cornerstone of the FOLORUNSHO campaign. It has garnered significant global attention, being translated into over five languages and shared more than 50 million times on social media. This talk raises awareness of critical social issues and encourages thought leaders to reevaluate Africa’s role on the global stage, making it a vital contribution to discussions on socio-economic imbalances and an integral part of academic discourse worldwide.

In her commitment to social impact, Mallence has founded several initiatives, including ETHICAL MINERALS, THE FREETOWN INNOVATION LAB, THE FEMALE INNOVATION LAB, and PLASMO. These organisations focus on addressing pressing social issues, harnessing elemental energy, and promoting gender equity while driving actionable results.

Central to Mallence’s mission is the belief that “WORLD PEACE STARTS IN THE WOMB.” She emphasises the importance of instilling balance and harmony in all her endeavours, whether empowering women through workshops or engaging in thought-provoking podcasts. Additionally, she has developed THE SACRED GARDEN, an alchemical body care line available in Africa and Asia, and THE SECRET CERES available Worldwide.
