Our Team
Tobi Karim

Tobi Karim is the Founding Member of The African Feminist. She credits the birth of TAF to her love for gathering information or as her mother would put it…being nosy.

She also has a first class degree in International Relations and an MPA in Energy, Technology and Climate Policy.
By day, Tobi is a business development analyst, in a real estate firm and by night she is a promising ballerina. She loves to eat but hates to cook and is a bookworm and lover of languages.
