Ashley Chadamoyo Makombe

Ashley is a 21-year-old journalist, student and activist from Tallaght, Dublin. Named one of The Irish Independent's “Activists to watch” in 2022, she has always had a passion for mobilising and uplifting underrepresented communities across media, arts and culture.

Ashley is also one of the Co-Founders of The GALPAL Collective. As a collective “GALPAL” is dedicated to the celebration, and creation of art by young women, people of colour and queer folk. In her career, Ashley has worked for organisations such as Tallaght Community Arts, The Irish Museum of Modern Art and Eurobug International and has featured bylines in Totally Dublin and Rogue Collective and was published in the Novel "The Liminal" with all proceeds going to charity.

One action Ashley would like everyone to take:

“Engage with the content I post on social media, as most of it is relating to my work.”
