Alicia Wallace

Alicia A. Wallace is a queer Black feminist, gender expert, and research consultant. She has worked on numerous projects including a guide—commissioned by the Equality & Justice Alliance—for Commonwealth parliamentarians on engaging young people in legal reform and a guide for NGOs on post-legislative scrutiny for Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD). She is the Director of Equality Bahamas which promotes women's and LGBTQI+ people rights as human rights through advocacy, public education, and community engagement. Its current work includes the #Strike5ive campaign to criminalize marital rape, a CEDAW speaker series to familiarize Bahamians with the Convention, and climate innovation labs engaging affected communities in solution-buillding. She led the Equality Bahamas team in hurricane relief efforts following category five Hurricane Dorian and in making connections between climate justice and gender justice.

Alicia is an Executive Committee member of the Feminist Alliance for Rights (FAR), an Advisor for the grants program and the Online Education Coordinator at Queen's Commonwealth Trust (QCT), and former Caribbean Coordinator at FRIDA the Young Feminist Fund. She is skilled in creating safe spaces for critical dialogue and designing community-led projects. She writes a weekly column in The Tribune on socio-political issues and has numerous publications including academic papers, toolkits, and articles. 

Alicia believes our greatest collective asset is imagination, and we need it for the group project we cannot abandon—co-creation of queer, feminist, peaceful, equitable futures. She enjoys reading, gardening, listening to podcasts, and solo travel.
