Actor and activist Nomzamo Mbatha has long embodied advocacy through action. An UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador since 2019, she has used film and television to amplify refugee voices and narratives. Having participated in field missions in Malawi, Kenya, and South Sudan with UNHCR, Mbatha reflected on how difficult it is to experience a refugee camp, because you’re “coming out of your own reality where you have resources and you have the privilege,” she said on the TIME100 Next red carpet on Oct. 30.
