Biography
I came to SOAS with extensive field experience across Africa with the UN. I was a member of the World Health Organization’s Ebola Response Team in Sierra Leone during the 2013-2016 West Africa Ebola pandemic. Prior to that, I worked with WFP, UNAIDS, UNFPA and UNDP; the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD); the World Bank; the Government of Sierra Leone and the UK Government.
Born in Sierra Leone, I spent most of my adult life in the US; and now settled in the UK. I am a feminist and a Marxist. Feminism, for me, is about fairness. Marxism enables me to ask the difficult and probing questions so I can learn.
I enjoyed long treks, intellectual debates, films and entertaining at home.
