As one of the most prominent African actors of his generation in the
continent of Africa, Donald Molosi is an official Ambassador for Brand
Botswana and is the youngest-ever recipient of the Khama Brilliant
Spirit Award (2003), a prestigious Presidential award, for his
contribution to the arts in Botswana. In that capacity he has had the
privilege of being invited to perform his political one-man plays in
front of many dignitaries including Nelson Mandela, Kofi Annan and Bill
Clinton. Molosi has, in the past, both performed and presented
scholarly findings concerning the arts and national memory at the UN
General Assembly (2002) and the UN World Youth Conference (2012). For
the past 11 years, Molosi has worked closely with the UN and the
African Union as a spokesperson for the performance-based
popularization of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the
African Charter on Children's Rights and Responsibilities,
respectively. Molosi earned his BA in Political Economy and Theater
from Williams College in Massachusetts. He later graduated from the
London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) with a graduate
Diploma in Classical Acting and Performance. His 2009 research on the
life and artistry of Ugandan musician-activist, Philly Lutaaya earned
Molosi both the Ruth Scott Memorial Prize in Theater and the Florence
H. Chandler Fellowship in Theater. Molosi is based in California, USA.
