Years of
Experience
Meet the Founder
I am a justice reform strategist and research scholar working across Africa to advance inclusive, survivor-sensitive legal frameworks. My work spans legal audits, policy consultations, and regional initiatives with institutions such as UNDP, the Carter Center, and SIHA Network.
Currently completing my LLD at the University of the Western Cape, I explore power and justice in pretrial detention systems. I founded Justice & Innovation in Africa to share tools, reflections, and collaborative strategies that make justice reform accessible, actionable, and rooted in lived experience.
