We are delighted and honoured Anna Musonda and Smack Jay will visit Northern Ireland in May as part of  UNESCO Africa Week and Africa Day Tour in partnership with our partners OpenNet40 Zambia

Anna Musonda is former Miss Heritage Zambia, Miss Grand Zambia 2025 and a champion campaigning for human rights and ending violence against women and girls, supporting many schools and other charities throughout her humanitarian work in Zambia. Anna is also a qualified clinical and psychosocial practitioner.
Coexistence of different career paths within the model and fashion industry and her humanitarian work for women and girls rights does generate healthy debate.
