She was interviewed in Toronto, Canada. "I felt my silence enabled her to be murdered in that way..." Notisha Massaquoi talks about Fanny Ann Eddy, the lesbian activist who changed her life. [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="164" caption="FannyAnn Eddy"][/caption] FannyAnn Eddy (1974-2004) In 2004, FannyAnn Eddy, an LGBT activist from Sierra Leone, West Africa was murdered in the offices of the Sierra Leone Lesbian and Gay Association. The news of her murder circulated around the world and was a turning point for Selly Thiam, a Senegalese lesbian living in the United States. To honor the African QLGBT (queer, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered) spirit that Fanny Ann embodied, she began collecting the oral histories of QLGBT Africans from the African Continent and in the Diaspora. In 2006, None on Record: Stories of Queer Africa (NOR), an audio based oral history project was created to archive these oral histories. Since then, None on Record has grown to a six person production crew working to bring these important testimonies to the world. Currently NOR has collected stories in Canada, South Africa and the United States. Our Mission is to document the hopes, struggles, challenges and joy of being a QLGBT African. The None on Record archive exist to tell the stories of Africans in their own voices. A new episode of None On Record will be broadcast every Monday at www.iloveupeople.com.
