About Me

I am a Cameroonian historian and socio-politician.

I am a Scholar-Activist, currently Assistant Professor in the Department of History at Glendon, York University (Canada).

My work explores the issues related to gender and politics in Africa, and black feminisms in a (post)colonial context, by focusing on the mobilizations of African and Afrodescendant women in the Cameroonian and French contexts. My research contributes to the field of Black Feminist Studies, from a multidisciplinary and transnational perspective.

My professional life is informed by my various feminist commitment, as I am involved with several African feminist and afrofeminist organizations. In 2017, I co-founded the Lyon-based Afrofeminist collective Sawtche, in 2019, I co-founded the association Femmes Actantes, and in September 2021 I was involved in the setting up of the Cameroonian Feminist Coordination.
