The fellowships that made me
March 16, 2022
Let’s get to know one another…
Leyti* is a photographer, researcher and storyteller based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Leyti created SEMALBA, which is a collaboration of queer artists and researchers to share, preserve, celebrate and archive underground stories by and for LGBTQI+Ethiopians.
Work with me
We encourage organizations to work with and engage Minority Africa fellows. Here's how.
Commissioning them to cover stories.
To make a commissioning request for stories in the areas of interest particularly relevant to this fellow, please contact our fellowship team on fellowship@minorityafrica.org. Establish in your initial communication what the story is and what you’d particularly want the fellow to cover. Our team will pass this across to them and you will receive a response within a 48 hour span.
Press requests
We consider our fellows to be thought leaders in media, journalism, and coverage of minority groups particularly. If you’d like to interview them or get quotes from them for a story, do contact our team in charge of press requests on press@minorityafrica.org. For urgent inquiries, indicate so in the subject line.
