Hickmatu Leigh
Hickmatu Leigh (1997) is a Sierra Leonean artist based in Freetown. She recently completed her BSc in Public Health at the Njala University in Sierra Leone and is currently doing her masters in social and behavioral health sciences. Her work is centred around Sierra Leonean women, sharing their stories, and supporting systems that bring their bodies what they need— fundamental human rights.
