Settlement Worker In Schools
In 2014, after 11 years working as a documentary producer and reporter, I left Eritrea due to extreme repression, joining many others exiled by decades of war and political oppression. In Uganda, I co-founded Africa Monitors, an organization advocating for Eritrean refugees across East and North Africa, Israel, and Europe while documenting human rights violations in Eritrea. In 2018, I co-founded ERISAT, the first independent free-to-air TV channel broadcasting into Eritrea via satellite, raising awareness about human rights conditions. Over the past decade, I have worked with various organizations to advocate for refugee rights, promote sustainable immigration policies, and contribute to migration-related publications. In 2020, I moved to Canada and continued my work in human rights and refugee advocacy. Before joining CBFY in October 2024, I worked as an employment counsellor with Immigrant Centre Manitoba, helping newcomers navigate resettlement and build meaningful lives.
