Usha Reifsnider is a British South Asian Christ-follower from a Hindu background. She and her American husband, Matt, have served as mission partners working with migrants, refugees, and diaspora people groups for over three decades. Usha’s research interests are in the intersection of cultural anthropology and practical theology.Her various roles in ministry include serving as a director with the Centre for Missionaries from the Majority World (CMMW), training churches and para-church agencies on mission to, through, from, and with diaspora people groups. Usha also teaches a module on philosophical frameworks and ethics at the postgraduate level at Waverley Abbey College.

'In Unmuted, the reader is confronted with new ideas and people not like themselves in situations not like theirs and the rupturing experience invites transformation, if we take the time to listen deeply. Unmuted encourages us to "let the whole earth sing to the Lord" (Ps 96:1, nlt), with every voice contributing to the harmony unrestrainedly, even if to our ears it seems a little off pitch or out of sync. This book challenges us to deal with real relationships in groups rather than large disembodied systems. It is likely to be far more beneficial as a tool to help Christians understand how to create space for others to speak and be heard.
