What are the chal­lenges that the Niger­ian LGBTQI+ com­mu­ni­ty faces? How does com­mu­ni­ty build­ing work in a sit­u­a­tion, in which LGBTQI+ peo­ple are legal­ly and social­ly oppressed and face mar­gin­al­i­sa­tion? Which role do dig­i­tal media play in sup­port­ing the Niger­ian com­mu­ni­ty?

I dis­cuss these and oth­er ques­tions with Bisi Ali­mi, renowned Niger­ian LGBTQI+ activist and founder of the Bisi Ali­mi Foun­da­tion. The inter­view is pub­lished as an episode of the ReDI­Co pod­cast, you can find it here, on Spo­ti­fy, Apple Pod­casts and Ama­zon Music.

I’m very grate­ful to my col­league Fer­gal Lene­han of the Uni­ver­si­ty of Jena for organ­is­ing the pod­cast.
