Meet Tivania Moodley – A Voice of Courage and Change

Tivania’s story is one of radical transformation. From surviving rape, intimate partner violence, a failed suicide attempt and more than twenty years of depression, Tivania chose not just to survive, but to rise.
Today, she channels her lived experience into meaningful change. Her work blends raw honesty with hope, reminding audiences that even in the darkest moments, there is always light to return to and power to reclaim.
Motivational speaker

Tivania delivers powerful keynotes on gender-based violence, trauma recovery and mental health, blending personal truth with practical insight. Her talks go beyond inspiration, they offer audiences practical hope, courage and a deeper understanding of what it means to heal and rise.

Women empowerment initiatives

Tivania is deeply committed to helping women reclaim their voice, worth and agency. Through her advocacy work, she partners with local and global organisations to support survivors, drive access to mental health and trauma resources, and create platforms where women are empowered and supported to live more authentically, independently and healed from trauma.

Philanthropy

Using her own resources, Tivania funds feeding schemes, supports women in crisis and pays for courses that help them build financial independence. Through micro-grants, mentorship and practical skills training, Tivania helps women create sustainable income streams and reclaim control over their lives.

The Flame She Carried

Tivania Moodley’s autobiography, Girl on Fire, revealed her trauma, her rage and her pain, but also her spirit, resilience, and power. The Flame She Carried is a continuation of her life story, exploring what it means to live after surviving. It charts her emotional, spiritual and professional evolution and how her pain has now become her advocacy and mission. The Flame She Carried is for every woman who is still embodying her pain. The book is an invitation to create a new legacy of hope, wisdom and resilience. Where you heal, reclaim, and rise…not as a victim, but as a woman living with power and purpose.
