Building People Power: Lessons from Grassroots Citizen Movements in Cameroon and the U.S.

Political Leader, Activist and Entrepreneur from Cameroon.

Grassroots citizen movements in Cameroon are empowering and engaging women and youth in political reforms. Kah Walla connects movements to actions in the USA—in particular the current gun violence protests across the country.

Kah Walla is a Cameroonian political leader who in 2011 challenged the political status quo when she announced her candidacy for the presidential elections and became the first woman ever to run for the presidency of the nation.

Kah Walla started her advocacy for political change in 1992 following the reintroduction of multipartism in Cameroon. She sided with the main opposition party at the time and soon became one of its key advisers and trainers. She provoked a mini-revolution in working methods and brought in a systematic and strategic approach to politics. In 2007, she was elected into the municipal council of Douala 1, the economic capital of Cameroon. In 2008 she led a dynamic campaign against the constitutional amendment which removed term limits for the presidential terms office.

Aptly featured this year in the book “The Next Africa”, Kah symbolizes the new generation of African political leadership which firmly believes in the continent’s ability to achieve global standards of development and demands that this be done in respect of principles of good governance, equity and democracy. Her leadership style has often been recognized at international level. She received the Vital Voices Global Leadership Vanguard Award (2015), DVF Award (2014), was named one of 150 women who shake the world by Newsweek and Daily Beast (2011) and one of Africa’s 100 most influential leaders by New African Magazine (2011).

Professionally, Kah Walla is an entrepreneur who founded STRATEGIES!, a 20 year old international consulting firm, offering services in leadership and strategy to multinational firms and development organizations on 5 continents. She was recognized as one of 5 African woman entrepreneurs fighting for an enabling business environment on the continent by the World Bank in 2009.

As a community activist, she founded Cameroon Ô’Bosso, a citizens’ movement for change, through which she was recognized in 2009 by the Clinton Global Initiative for her capacity building project in entrepreneurship and policy dialogue carried out with over 500 market women in Douala.

Kah’s leadership can be summarized in her own words “I believe in Africa and our innate ability to succeed as a people.”

Nigeria Comedy Gist: Visa or $1m?

The Sahara is the biggest desert on earth. It takes its name from the Arab word for "emptiness". In the dead heart of that emptiness there's a place called the Tenere. The Tenere takes its name from the Tuareg word for "nothing". A nothing the size of France in the middle of an emptiness the size of the United States. It's no wonder the locals call this place "The Land Of Fear”. David Adams retraces the trade routes of the people who call this stove-hot corner of the planet home.

On Monday, February 15, 2021 the Departments of African American and African Studies and History with the Black Organization of Students hosted Activism and the Activist, a conversation about the activism and the importance of self-care for the activist with Dominique Rocker, Christina Strasburger, and Loretta Turner.

The event was a kickoff to RUN AfAm Week and as a part of Caring Community Week also featured a mindfulness exercise led by Loretta Turner, a certified leadership coach, nonprofit consultant, and yoga teacher.

Dominique Rocker (she/her/hers) is poet, writer, and first year Masters’ student in the History Department at Rutgers University - Newark. Dominique earned a BA in Print Journalism from California State University, Fullerton in 2013 and an MA in African-American Studies from UCLA in 2020. Between degrees, Dominique attended De Anza Community College in the Bay Area, where she began organizing work. At UCLA, Dominique became President of the Black Graduate Student Association and an advocate for Black students. She also worked as a Teaching Assistant for two years. In her final semester, Dominique TA’ed for Sociology of Criminology in the Spring of 2020 - the first full quarter on Zoom due to the rise of the global coronavirus pandemic and throughout the summer BLM uprisings.

Dominique’s research at UCLA examined the activism and resistance strategies of Black women in the Black Panther Party in Los Angeles, California and New Haven, Connecticut. This work focused on both the narrative and erotic resistance via oral testimony and written poetry of former Panther Ericka Huggins. Dominique used the lessons learned from her research on Huggins as strategies for centering care in resistance as an activist herself and for her students trying to navigate a new learning environment in the midst of a pandemic and social upheaval. In thinking about pleasure as a site of resistance for Black women, particularly as Black women also must negotiate a sexuality enmeshed with pain and trauma, Dominique’s interests have shifted to questions about Black women in pornography in the digital age and the potential for centuring queer pleasure as a radical resistance site.

Loretta Turner, MA, CANP, is a New Jersey-bred, San Diego-based mindfulness and leadership coach and yoga teacher with an MA in Nonprofit Management and Leadership. She is an active member of the nonprofit community, both as a seasoned professional and a devout volunteer. She has always worked within human service organizations, emphasizing mindfulness, compassion, and diversity awareness in her leadership roles. Loretta strongly believes that “it only works if you do,” and she’ll always encourage you to put the work in. Follow Loretta on Instagram, Facebook and Linkedin: @loretta.leads

This panel, part of the 'Racial Inequality in a Time of Crisis' conference (9-12 March), will explore the nature of racial inequalities and the politics of ‘race’ in the cultural industries. It will explore the impact of barriers and obstacles (and at times ‘opportunities’) facing racialised peoples in the creative sector, and how movements around access and representation fare in a time of crisis.
