She founded Kibada Widow’s Voices and vowed to defend women who have suffered horrible injustice at the hands of relatives when their husbands die. As a 13-year-old, she helplessly watched as her mother was tormented and dragged to jail by her father’s relatives who believed a woman cannot inherit a man’s property.
That mistreatment gave her the fuel to pursue law and be the shield for most women in Tanzanian communities, who have no one to defend them when the tragedy hits home. Born and raised in Arusha, this elegant lady of Tanga origin now resides in Indiana, US.
