Meet Our Speaker(s)
BOMA ANITA WEST Community Advocate | HR & Governance Professional | Niger Delta Voice
Boma Anita West is a Port Harcourt-based advocate, HR professional, and operations leader whose work sits at the intersection of people, policy, and community. With a cross-sector career spanning government, NGO, and private sector environments, she brings a grounded, systems-level perspective to the challenges facing women, marginalised communities, and neurodivergent individuals across the Niger Delta and beyond.
Boma is the founder of the Quiet Harbour Initiative, a governance and policy advocacy framework addressing the structural invisibility of an intersectional population of women in West Africa. She is a Community Liaison Officer with the Women Safe House Sustenance Initiative (WSSI), championing survivor-centred advocacy since 2022.
Her advocacy extends into the neurodivergence space through her work with the Blazing Heart Autism Foundation, where she has developed inclusive educational frameworks and policy tools that centre the dignity and rights of neurodivergent individuals and their families in Nigeria.
A multilingual communicator fluent in English, Nigerian Pidgin, and German; a language she is actively perfecting.
Boma is known for translating complex policy and human rights conversations into language that moves people, from community halls to boardrooms. Her driving conviction is simple: structural change begins where people are seen.
