About me

Founder of TechHer · Ford Global Fellow · PhD researcher in Development Communication

Feminist strategist, ecosystem leader, and founder working at the intersection of women, technology, and rights.

I am a Nigerian feminist, multidisciplinary strategist, and ecosystem leader whose work sits at the intersection of gender justice, technology, and civic participation. I am the Founder of TechHer, a women-led organisation advancing digital literacy, online safety, and survivor-centred responses to technology-facilitated gender-based violence across Africa.

With a background spanning communications, advocacy, research, and movement-building, I have led national and regional initiatives that translate feminist principles into practical systems that mobilise communities, influence policy, and strengthen accountability. My work has supported thousands of women and girls to navigate digital spaces safely while equipping institutions with data, strategy, and tools for action.

I serve on the boards of Plan International Nigeria and the WACSI Nigeria Node, and previously served on the board of Oxfam International (2020 to 2023). I am a Ford Global Fellow (2024), a Commonwealth Associate Fellow and a World Economic Forum Global Shaper (Abuja Hub), and I convene the State of Emergency GBV Movement in Nigeria.

I am currently completing a PhD in Development Communication at Nasarawa State University, researching how targeted behavioural change communication can curb technology-facilitated gender-based violence among young people in Nigeria. I hold an MA in Social Media from Birmingham City University, and I have spoken at the House of Lords, in The Hague and on the TEDx stage.

Why This Work?

The work that I do is equal parts personal and political, and often in response to the question, “How do we solve this?”

My feminism is grounded in the belief that technology is not neutral and that unequal power, when replicated online, produces real-world harm. As digital spaces increasingly shape participation, expression, and opportunity, women and girls are being pushed out through violence, intimidation, and silence.

My work invests in building infrastructure, whether it is platforms that document harm (KURAM), funds that stabilise survivors
(GBV Emergency Response Fund), networks that unlock justice, communities where women can learn and thrive, or narratives that shift norms. My work insists that access, safety, and dignity are rights and not privileges.
