About me:
Hi there! My name is Iwuala Lucy and this is my user page. I go by Iwuala Lucy both online and onsite and that's my Last & first name. Born in Owerri, Nigeria. I joined Wikimedia Movement in 2022 as a member of the Igbo Wikimedians User Group. My passion for indigenous language revitalization and free knowledge dissemination for all, has always spurred me to actively participate in projects and campaigns that promote access to free knowledge resources and indigenous language digitization/documentation using the various Wikimedia sister projects.
