Nokwanda Mabuza is an MLS (Master of Library and Information Science) student at PCTE Group of Institutes, Ludhiana — and one of the international voices that makes the PCTE campus a truly global community.

Having traveled across continents to pursue her education in India, Nokwanda embodies the spirit of intellectual courage and cross-cultural openness that defines the very best of what higher education can be.

Her unique vantage point — as a young African woman navigating an Indian academic environment — gives her a perspective on identity, belonging, and resilience that few others can offer.

On the TEDx PCTE stage, Nokwanda will share a story that transcends geography and speaks to the universal human experience of finding one's voice in an unfamiliar world.
