CLEEN Foundation, in collaboration with the Innocent Chukwuemeka Chukwuma Empowerment Foundation, is honored to announce the third (3rd) annual Innocent Chukwuemeka Chukwuma Impact and Legacy Lecture Series. This year, the title of lecture is “The Personal is Political: Lessons from the Life of Innocent Chukwuma” and will be delivered by the distinguished Erelu Bisi Adeleye-Fayemi, a renowned feminist activist, gender and development specialist, writer and former First Lady of Ekiti State.
Innocent Chukwuemeka Chukwuma was a renowned and tireless advocate for social justice, equality, human rights, justice sector reforms and good governance. His work continues to inspire and influence the current and future generations of changemakers in Nigeria and beyond. This annual lecture series honors his enduring legacy by bringing together thought leaders, activists, and the broader community to engage with topics that were central to Innocent’s life and mission.
This year the event is set to take place in Lagos on April 3, 2025. The Guest Lecturer, Erelu Adeleye-Fayemi will be bringing Innocent back to life as she speaks about the interconnectedness of personal experiences and the larger social and political structures. The phrase ‘’the personal is political’’ which was popularized by the second wave of feminism in the 60s, is very relevant till date. Her insights will offer valuable lessons on how Innocent’s personal life influenced his political thoughts, ideology and activism.
Participants can expect engaging discussions, personal narratives, and actionable insights that underline the profound influence one individual can have on societal progress. The event is open to all who wish to honor Innocent’s legacy and explore the intersections of personal life and political impact. Attendees (physically and virtually) will have the opportunity to engage in dialogue, deepen their understanding, and draw inspiration for their own efforts toward creating a more just society.
