None On Record

None on Record is a digital media project that collects the stories of LGBTI Africans. A story is the shortest distance between two people. Mission Our Mission is to document the hopes, struggles, challenges and joy of being an LGBTI African. The None on Record archive exist to tell the stories of Africans in their own voices. Company Overview In 2004, FannyAnn Eddy, an LGBT activist from Sierra Leone, West Africa was murdered in the offices of the Sierra Leone Lesbian and Gay Association. The news of her murder circulated around the world and was a turning point for Selly Thiam, a Senegalese lesbian living in the United States. To honor the African LGBTI ( lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, Intersex) spirit that Fanny Ann embodied, she began collecting the oral histories of LGBTI Africans from the African Continent and in the Diaspora. In 2006, None on Record: Stories of Queer Africa (NOR), a digital media project was created to archive these oral histories. None on Record brings important testimonies to the world.
