Hannah Ajala is an international journalist and presenter currently specialising in podcasts for organisations like the BBC and CBC, and has recently spent three years travelling across Africa working on a range of stories and broadcasting for international organisations.

Hannah is also the founder of We Are Black Journos, an events and networking platform connecting and celebrating Black journalists.

We Are Black Journos has gained widespread recognition since launching in 2018, and she looks forward to growing it further with the help of the ever-growing network and supporters.
