About me
I'm Afek Ben Chahed, a Tunisian Women, librarian born in 1991. I've been working at the Diocesan Library of Tunis since 2017. Since 2016, I've also been involved with Wikimedia, serving as a Community Facilitator for Wiki In Africa. Additionally, I co-founded Africvs, a youth collective dedicated to documenting and celebrating Tunisian heritage. Outside of work, I'm passionate about music, writing, art, and history. Oh, and you can often find me indulging in cheese, tending to my plants and enjoying crafting handmade items.
I speak Arabic, French and English.
