Speaking on this appointment Adelle Onyango shared:
“This is an honor and responsibility in equal measure. When I started Legally Clueless Africa, I intended to be at the forefront in changing the media landscape across Africa. New or digital media, gives Africans agency over not only our stories, but how they are told. It also allows us to amplify issues that truly affect us in an unbiased way which can only result in true transformative change. Joining the Baraza Media Lab board will mean through this wonderful organization, we can push for framework, resources and other much needed change in the environment to allow African media practitioners, creative freelancers and really all players in the creative economy, to actualize this agency, this amplification of our voices. I am determined to work hard while serving on this board. I am also encouraged because so far, Baraza Media Lab have been instrumental in fostering a vibrant and connected media and storytelling ecosystem across Kenya and East Africa.”
