Joyce A. Adera Obure (Nyaloka)
It is with deep sorrow yet with hearts full of gratitude that we remember the life of Mama Joyce Atieno Adera, fondly known as Councilor Nyaloka. Mama Joyce rested peacefully on Sunday, 21st September 2025, at Metropolitan Hospital, Buruburu, Nairobi, after a long and courageous battle with cervical cancer. She was a beloved daughter of the late James Adera Gogo and the late Rebecca Atieno Awuor of Kamser Ngeta, Kendu Bay, Homabay County. A cherished sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Mama Joyce touched many lives with her compassion, strength, and devotion to family and community. She was a loving wife to the late Gordon Obure Ondik of Seme Kowe, Kisumu County and co-wife to Mama Rhoda Olonde. As a mother, she nurtured many – including Jerim, Franklin, Edwin, Sheikh, Collins, Jeconia, Elizabeth, Winny, Rose, Quinter, the late Lydia, the late Geoffrey and others – leaving behind a legacy of love, unity, audacity, courage and resilience. She was also a devoted grandmother and great-grandmother, deeply treasured by Snider, Christine, Violet, Joe, Lek, Loye, Olivia, Blessings, Antony, Bianca, Gianna, and many more. Her home was a sanctuary of kindness and generosity, and her memory will forever live on in the hearts of family, friends, and the wider community she served. As we celebrate her life, we honor her as a pillar of strength, a loving matriarch, and a true community leader. Rest in Eternal Peace, Mama Joyce Atieno Adera Obure Nyaloka.

Dhirendra Kishore Verma
Dhiru, also known as "Kishore" to his many friends and family was born in Patna, India in 1962. He would often speak fondly of a carefree childhood in Hyderabad, Bikapur and Bhagalpur spent with his cousins and uncles. In 1970, Dhiru and his family moved to York to start a new life. During his formative years he developed a range of interests, including photography, literature, and science. Dhiru was always one to want to work and make his own way. He worked in a model aeroplane shop while at school, developing a lifelong love for aeronautics. Life in the 1970s for an Asian family in York was no doubt challenging and it left its impression on Dhiru. While studying in London, Dhiru made lifelong friendships. He then spent over a decade abroad living in Spain, France, Poland, and Germany teaching English and creating drama productions. He taught at the Centro Dramatico Nacional in Madrid and established the Cacco Perro theatre company. He produced Peter Weiss's "Marat/Sadfe", Fassbinder's "Blood on the Cat's Neck" and Valle-Inclan's "Silver Face". After moving to Lodz, Poland in the mid 1990's he directed Fassbinders' "Pre-Paradise Sorry Now". He directed animation sequences on the short experimental film 'Death in the Labyrinth' which was judged Best Experimental Film at the Krakow Film Festival. He often recalled his years of travelling and working in theatre as some of his happiest. On returning to England he completed a Masters’ degree at Sheffield Hallam University and he worked as a lecturer in film studies at Royal Holloway College, University of London and Southampton Solent University, where he was much loved and respected by many of his students. During this time he directed 'Enfant Terrible' (2005), which won a Special Mention Jury Prize at Barcelona and La Realisation Integrale award at Paris. He also served as the Director of the New York Film Academy, London, and went to Cuba and Turkey to give workshops on cinematography on behalf of the British Council. After suffering a stroke in 2016 and subsequent kidney failure, he moved to Sheffield in 2021 to be with his family. We were very lucky to have him close to us for this time. Dhiru was a deeply thoughtful and intelligent person. He loved nothing more than reading and thinking about topics ranging from physics to politics to philosophy and everything in between. We will remember him most for the tremendous kindness and care which he showed to the great many people who he met along his journey, in particular his love for his mother, father, brothers and his niece and nephew, Anjali and Satyam, which was something that shone a light in his life and made him so happy. We will all miss him tremendously.

Tuisina Ymania Brown
It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that the Board and staff of TGEU announce the passing of our beloved Executive Director, Tuisina Ymania Brown while in hospital in Berlin, Germany, after planned heart surgery. Ymania was more than a compassionate leader; she embodied trans resilience, wisdom, and transformative power. Ymania's uplifting, creative and powerful personality touched everyone who knew her. Her leadership was visionary because it was grounded in lived experience, cultural wisdom, and an unwavering commitment to collective liberation. Ymania understood that trans leadership means lifting others as we climb. She spent her life creating pathways for those who would follow. She consistently demonstrated that our power lies in our ability to transform systems from within while never forgetting where we came from. Perhaps most importantly, Ymania embodied the principle of collective care that is vital to our movement. She was a trans activist, a mother, grandmother, and mentor who understood that our strength comes from taking care of one another. She showed us that it is possible to transform pain into power, isolation into community, and struggle into leadership for systemic change.

Sa passion pour l’histoire reflétait sa nature réfléchie et son désir de comprendre le monde et ses récits. Il vivait avec émerveillement, créativité et une sagesse discrète. Il nous manquera profondément.
Sunday Toweh
In Loving Memory of Sunday Watari Toweh (Sunny) Sunday Toweh, fondly known as Sunny, was a beloved father, son, brother, husband, friend, colleague and relative. He was a man of quiet strength and remarkable kindness, someone who carried wisdom with gentleness and gave comfort without being asked. His brilliance was evident in his work, but even more in the way he treated people with patience, fairness, and a sincere heart. Sunny lived a life of impact. He served others with dedication, integrity, and humility, always striving to leave things better than he met them. Whether in his professional life or within the family, he showed what it meant to lead with compassion and to stand for what is right. To his children, he was a pillar of support and a constant source of encouragement. To those who knew him, he was a steady light, a listening ear, and a presence that brought peace. His absence leaves a void that is felt deeply, yet his legacy remains in the countless lives he touched. Sunday is survived by his children, who hold his memory with pride and profound love. They ask for your understanding, your prayers, and your support as they navigate this painful time and honour the life of a man whose goodness will not be forgotten. May his soul rest in perfect peace. May his memory remain a blessing.

Above all, he lived what he preached, embodying his message. “God has a plan,” he often reminded us. Indeed, God’s plans for him were fulfilled, right to the end.
