Uche Ezejiofor

Uche Ezejiofor (we/she/they) is a Nigerian writer, researcher, and educator who examines the intersections of global Black experience, African and Black feminist thought, and digital innovation. Uche’s work is guided by the belief that the personal is political and builds connections between scholarship, creative practice, and social impact to imagine freer futures for Africa and its diaspora.

As Executive Director and Co-Founder of Nzonzi, Uche leads efforts to reimagine Africa’s knowledge ecosystem through open-access digital infrastructure and community-driven research. Nzonzi bridges the gap between continental and diasporic Africans by cultivating trustworthy, locally grounded information systems that strengthen African intelligence, innovation, and collaboration.

Uche also founded and edits The Intimates, a digital journal-scape that explores the world and the self through a Black internationalist feminist lens. Through The Intimates, they curate essays, creative nonfiction, and public dialogues that engage joy, love, futurity, and the complex intimacies of global Black life.

Across all their work, Uche creates spaces where critical inquiry meets collective care—spaces where African knowledge, love, and imagination drive the work of building the futures we deserve.
