Leila Moumouni - Tchouassi is a Muslim queer franco West African with ties in Niger to the Zarma and Cameroon to the Bamiléké and is currently living, working and learning in Ottawa on the unceeded and unsurrendered territory of the Algonquin people. When she isn’t fighting burnout from living in an inherently racist colonial state, Leila loves building with and for herself and her community while basking in its beauty, diversity, and genius. She hopes to see the world one day recognize that WE are the prototype and if that day never comes she believes in burning it all down.
