It was great speaking about my experience training and editing African Queer stories on Wikipedia. All this was made possible through my initial collaboration with LGBT+ Rights Ghana.

I look forward to getting more Queer Ghanaians to learn how to edit Wikipedia.

It's been an educational time attending Day One of the Queering Wikipedia Conference, trying to build more skills as a Wikipedia trainer to impact my training programs.

This conference is online so I get to participate safely. Link: meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Q...

Two days ago as part of our activities towards the #KnowledgeEquityFund I was excited to have led a @wikipedia.org 101 session with the TheMFWA on behalf of the Wikimedia Ghana User Group.

It was a great way to start our partnership on such great note.

Love this from Humanists UK!

#Thatshumanism is the perfect introduction to the humanist approach to life, featuring four animations narrated by Stephen Fry, and brand new posters all about humanism for schools. Have a look for yourself! humanists.uk/thatshumanism/
That's humanism!
We've teamed up with our patron Stephen Fry, to explore humanist ideas about some of life’s big questions in four animated shorts.

We are challenging the lawfulness of the UK’s Online Safety Act Categorisation Regulations, which determine our obligations under UK laws.

These rules create unacceptable risks for Wikipedia’s volunteer users, such as disempowering those who wish to keep their identity private.
