Lallmon lobbies for the reform of discriminatory laws, emphasizing inclusive and resilient strategies to tackle climate change’s impacts on LGBTQIA+ communities in Small Island Developing States. She has orchestrated impactful programs, from grassroots advocacy campaigns to high-level policy dialogues, to amplify the voices of those who have long been silenced.

Her impact extends beyond boardrooms and academic corridors. She is an accomplished author whose publications span articles, book chapters, toolkits, and guidebooks, all advocating for the empowerment of sexual and gender minorities in Africa and beyond. Her work is underpinned by a profound belief in the transcendent power of research, advocacy, and community engagement to effect positive change and create a more just and equitable world for all.

“As a visionary leader, I harness the power of collaboration, empathy, and intersectional approaches to create diverse, inclusive, and transformative spaces for learning, dialogue, and development.”
