Nimco Ali is a British Somali feminist, social activist and prolific social media commentator. She is co-founder and director of Daughters of Eve, a survivor led organisation which has helped to transform the approach to ending female genital mutilation (FGM). Nimco has also worked on The Girl Generation: Together To End FGM campaign, which celebrates the Africa-led movement to end FGM in one generation.
Here Nimko talks about oversharing: “I have spent the last few years talking very openly about my Fanny, some might say oversharing at times. It is not something that I wanted to do but it is something that has set me free. In my attempt to get us to talk more about vaginas so we can keep them safe, I have found some of the deepest and most powerful experiences”.
