i//, {{{job title}}}About me
Hi there! My name is Lucy Iwuala and this is my user page. I go by Lucy Iwuala both online and onsite and that's my First & last name. Born in Owerri, Nigeria. I joined Wikimedia Movement in 2022 as a member of the Igbo Wikimedians User Group. My passion for indigenous language revitalization and free knowledge dissemination for all, has always spurred me to actively participate in projects and campaigns that promote access to free knowledge resources and indigenous language digitization/documentation using the various Wikimedia sister projects.
My work
My onboarding in January 2022 through the Wiki Loves Folklore 2022 project organized by the Open Heritage Foundation which I took part in for the first time under the Igbo Wikimedians User Group ushered me into the various roles as listed below:
- Co-founder and Coordinator Igbo Wiki Fan Club, Alvan
- Communication Coordinator, Wiki Loves Monuments International Team
- Member, Grant Committee, Wikimedia User Group Nigeria Community Support Fund
