Mesha is an Indigenous activist fighting for women's rights in the Maasai community. In particular, she seeks to combat the destructive practices of female genital mutilation and child marriage (effectively matrimonial slavery). By helping girls gain access to a supportive education and school supplies, many of these harmful practices are experienced at a decreased rate. Additionally, she is working as part of the Maasai Stoves & Solar Project to install efficient wood-burning stoves that dramatically reduce indoor air pollution, which harms the health of millions of people annually. 

She holds a bachelor’s degree in Education, an M.A. in Gender and Development Studies from the University of Dar es Salaam, and an M.A. in Leadership and Education Management from Arusha University.

As a part of her work, Mesha is the founder and director of Partnership for Women Development in Tanzania (PWDT). She is also the Country Director of Global Fund for Widows Tanzania.
