Favourite Quote: “and when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcome. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak, remembering we were never meant to survive.” – Audre Lorde

Ledys is a digital activist and specialist in feminist international political economy from Bogotá, Colombia. She studied International Relations at the University of Edinburgh, in Scotland and has a Master degree in International Critical Theory at the University of Exeter in England. Ledys contributed to the student and worker movements in defense of public services from an intersectional perspective and through organising women of colour collectives in the UK.
