Ricardo Raymond Amunjera

With a 14-year career in the mining industry, Ricardo Amunjera uses this platform to educate and sensitize mine workers on the struggle towards LGBTI liberation within Namibia. He is a passionate social media advocate who uses his social media presence as a platform to reach out to the youth and their families when coming to terms with a family member’s sexual orientation or gender identification. Ricardo is currently doing a national diploma in Developmental and Industrial Psychology. He holds a certificate in Management Development and attended numerous courses on leadership development. Upon completion of the Fellowship, Ricardo will continue working with MPower to fight against HIV/Aids through mobilization, education and training of MSM and other community members to counter complacency and conformity that is characterizing the fight against HIV/Aids and discrimination in Namibia presently. He also completed two international short films on LGBT awareness and marriage equality.
