| Introductory statement / Application summary (maximum 500 words): Tell us who you are, why you are applying, and your relevant experience. | I go by the name Iwuala Lucy - which is also my Wiki username. I am a language professional with a degree in Language Studies. An advocate for indigenous language revitalization and free knowledge dissemination. Having been attuned to the intricacies of online spaces like the Wikimedia community, I've come to understand the importance of ensuring a safe and inclusive space for everyone - irrespective of status or worldview. I believe that ensuring and safeguarding a respectful and welcoming environment for individuals (notwithstanding the differences) will go a long way to ensure that everyone - even newbies - is free to express themselves without fear. Also, in terms of what I can offer, the past 2 years of exploring the Wikimedia space and taking part in various roles and capacities have equipped me with skills ranging from analytical approach to tasks/situations, conflict resolution, communications and project management skills, imbuing in me the spirit of camaraderie which I have come to appreciate and enjoy - working with diverse groups of people both within and outside the Wikimedia movement to develop and implement policies and procedures that has individuals at the core of its activities is a responsibility that I am keened with. I am also experienced in delivering trainings and facilitating sessions for newbies and experienced wikimedians within and outside the Wikimedia ecosystem (onsite & online). I am committed and dedicated in ensuring that the UCoC is well understood, upheld and enforced consistently without any bias while at same time ready and willing to give ear to issues that concerns members of the community so as to ensure the sustainability of an environment (online and offline) that fosters a progressive and accommodative community. |

Questions
[edit]- You ran earlier this year in the first U4C election, with a resulting 44% support ratio, which was insufficient to elect you. Why do you think the result will be different this time? Izno (talk) 19:40, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Comments
[edit]- Judging by the fact that there was still no single representative from the SSA on any of the seat in the just concluded election, I still feel that there's need for that regional representation to ensure equal representation of all the regions including the SSA, hence my bid again.
