What excites you most about the African Trans Network?
ATN is more than just a network, it’s a strategic and empowering platform that brings together trans activists, organisations, and trans activists from across the continent to co-create change.
What excites me most is the potential ATN holds to amplify trans voices, foster leadership, and shape regional and global agendas that truly reflect the realities of African trans communities. It’s a space that prioritises collaboration, intentionality, and movement-building with care and clarity.
Being part of ATN means contributing to a future where trans people in Africa have greater visibility, stronger systems of support, and an influence in shaping policies and narratives that affect our lives in the African continent.

My current obsession is:
Podcasts on self-improvement and personal growth. I love tuning into conversations about mindset, confidence, healing, and building better habits. It’s like having a pocket-sized coach wherever I go. They keep me inspired, reflective, and constantly evolving, one episode at a time.
