Her Space

Home for essays, portraits and intimate storytelling about the lives of women across the continent.

Her Space is our home for essays, portraits and intimate storytelling exploring the lives, work and experiences of women across the continent. It began as Bridget Mensah’s weekly column. On this site it is a room inside Gender Lens Africa — literary, intimate, and still the same newsroom.

Audio-led work also lives on Audio.
