Donna Sherwani
Donna Sherwani is a leadership facilitator and purpose coach, an author and speaker, and the founder of Kind Rebel and Women x Peace. She works with entrepreneurs, changemakers and leaders who feel constrained by traditional paths, among them the many women already leading without calling it that.
Her work begins with the claim at the heart of this book: kindness and rebellion are not opposites, and leadership is not a title or a position someone grants you. It is the capacity to recognize what matters and to act on it, without permission, and without a map.
Born in Kurdistan and in Australia since 2000, Donna studied a Bachelor of Laws at Victoria University and specialized in international and European law, with a focus on human rights, as an exchange student at The Hague University in the Netherlands. She holds a Master of International Relations from the University of Melbourne and specialized in international peace and security at Korea University in Seoul. Admitted to the Supreme Court of Victoria in 2013 and now non-practicing, she has advocated for refugees and people seeking asylum for more than a decade, and is a contributing author of They Cannot Take the Sky.
She has written poetry since childhood. At fifteen, four years after arriving in Australia, she won the Senior Category for Western Australia in Multicultural Mental Health Australia’s National Poetry Competition for her poem “Lost Seed.” Her TEDx talk, “The Kind Rebel,” was delivered at TEDxCecilStreet in 2024.
She practices kendo and tai chi, and lives in Melbourne’s west with her family.
