What happens when voices long overlooked take center stage? The Africa Wiki Women Voices Podcast amplifies the experiences of African women who contribute to the Wikimedia movement.

In this episode, host Oluwapelumi Aina and Wikimedia Foundation’s Euphemia Uwandu explore how Wikimedia’s campaign tools can be made more accessible.

Created to counter underrepresentation, the podcast gives guests a platform to share stories of leadership, community building, and open knowledge across topics like culture, technology, and education.

Each episode invites community leaders, young changemakers, and gender advocates to discuss how volunteering with Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects is changing lives.

Listeners hear how local language projects flourish, how podcasts foster cultural preservation, and how volunteers mentor one another to expand articles and organise edit‑a‑thons. By highlighting the challenges and successes of African women, the show sparks curiosity and encourages others to join the movement.

🌍 Spotlight on Our Team Member, Kalada Briggs

We are proud to celebrate one of our own, Kalada Briggs, a dedicated member of the WikiNiger Delta Heritage Collective Team. Kalada is a talented aerial photographer whose lens captures powerful stories about our people, environment, and heritage from above.

Recently, he took the TEDx Port Harcourt stage to speak about climate change, exploring its impact on our communities, environment, health, and economy. Through his talk and imagery, he highlighted how photography can move beyond art to become a tool for climate action.

As the founder of Pixpectiv, Kalada’s journey began a decade ago with a simple curiosity, to see the world from a new perspective and use visuals to inspire real change. From documenting the oil-scarred lands of the Niger Delta to showcasing the resilience of our waterways and communities, his work continues to echo a message we hold dear:
📸 “Images can tell stories that move hearts and drive action.”

We celebrate you, Kalada, for using your craft to give voice to our region and for reminding us that storytelling, when done with purpose, can spark transformation.

We celebrate you Kalada

Wiki Loves Africa 2026:
Theme – Rites and Rituals

Dear Creative Community,

As we look ahead to Wiki Loves Africa 2026, the official theme has been announced: Rites and Rituals. This is a powerful opportunity for us to showcase the beauty, depth, and uniqueness of our cultural practices in the Niger Delta and beyond.

From traditional festivals, age-grade ceremonies, marriage rites, masquerades, to daily rituals that define our identity, this theme allows us to document and preserve our heritage for the world to see. These images will not only live on Wikimedia Commons but will also tell authentic stories of who we are as a people.

We encourage youths, creatives, and cultural storytellers in the Niger Delta to start preparing now. capturing cultural images, documenting traditional rites, and joining the upcoming photo walks. This is our chance to project our voices, celebrate our heritage, and ensure that our traditions are not misrepresented or forgotten.

Your participation means you’re contributing to global knowledge while building your own creative portfolio. Together, let’s use our lenses to preserve our cultural legacy.
