I am a journalist dedicated to amplifying marginalised voices, particularly those of women and girls, through underreported stories. I am currently developing a platform for free access to these neglected narratives and seeking support for this initiative.

Big ideas, real impact.

As an experienced radio journalist, I have reported extensively on social and sports news in Rwanda. At Radio Robin Hood in Turku, Finland, I have produced and broadcast programs focusing on Finnish development cooperation, with an emphasis on gender equality, women's and girls' rights, minority issues, and media in Eastern and Southern Africa. 

I am particularly dedicated to shedding light on stories that do not necessarily make current headlines but are crucial for our understanding of societal dynamics. Unfortunately, mainstream media often overlook these narratives, deeming them not a priority or urgent. 

  • To address this gap, I am in the process of creating a new platform where audiences and readers can access these vital stories for free, showcasing the strong roles of marginalised groups, especially women and girls, within our societies.

  • To ensure the sustainability of this initiative, I welcome both financial and moral support from individuals and organisations who would share a commitment to amplifying these important voices and stories. Please get in touch through my personal email: mbabanethiery@gmail.com

  • I partner with people who care about doing things right—and doing them well.

On my desk

My work also includes producing video content, podcasts, and written articles, as well as maintaining online blogs that explore subjects related to sports, immigration, and integration in Finland and elsewhere.

Dreams

I aspire to become a documentary filmmaker, drawing inspiration from my rich life experiences that span the impacts of genocide, war, and social conflict in Central and East Africa to the themes of migration and cultural diversity in Europe. My commitment to storytelling is driven by a desire to illuminate these critical issues and foster understanding across cultures.
