Afroscopie Profile – An inspiring figure of the African diaspora

“Africa still wins regardless.”
This powerful statement perfectly captures the spirit of Mary Concilia Anchang. A lawyer, economic leader, and influential voice within the African diaspora, she belongs to a generation of African women who think about the continent without illusion, yet without surrender.

Through a compelling op-ed published in September 2025, Mary Concilia delivers more than a personal reflection. She offers a deep, inner reading of Africa—one shaped by historical pain, political realism, and above all, an unshakable belief in Africa’s future.

A woman of law, a woman of vision

Barrister Mary Concilia Anchang is a Partner at OAALAWFIRM and serves as Executive Chair of The African Chamber of Trade and Commerce (ACC). Her professional journey sits at the crossroads of law, economics, and pan-African advocacy.

In spaces still dominated by rigid power structures, she asserts herself through:

• intellectual rigor,
• moral clarity,
• and a free, courageous voice, unafraid of uncomfortable truths.

Africa between disillusionment and active faith

Mary Concilia Anchang does not deny Africa’s struggles.
She openly acknowledges the disappointments, the slow pace of progress, and the failures of colonial and post-colonial systems that continue to hinder economic development.

She even admits moments of disillusionment, despite decades of sincere efforts by committed Africans.

Yet, she refuses despair.

“Yet, I am not discouraged. Why? Because Africa stands in a place of perpetual victory.”

For her, Africa does not panic because it knows what it carries. Its human, cultural, and spiritual wealth inevitably attracts attention, pressure, and interference—much like a beautiful woman who never stops being courted.

A silent awakening of the continent

One of the most striking elements of her reflection is her conviction that a deep transformation is underway.

She speaks of a slow but unstoppable wave of change, driven by:

• growing awareness,
• new ideas,
• and emerging leaders still unknown to the mainstream.

Her message is clear:

“Watch out for the NO-NAMES gradually rising to power and authority.”

According to her, these invisible actors today will be the architects of tomorrow’s Africa—challenging obsolete systems and dismantling outdated power structures.

A courageous female voice of consistency

In a continent where inclusivity still faces resistance, Mary Concilia Anchang embodies quiet authority, grounded in competence, resilience, and faith.

She urges Africans—both on the continent and in the diaspora—to:

• remain vigilant,
• resist cynicism,
• and believe that change, even when slow, is real and irreversible.
