Victoria Oluboyo, an Afro-Italian of Nigerian heritage, was chosen to serve as Parma, Italy’s first Black African municipal councilor.

A Nigerian living abroad named Olufemi Iyanda announced this in a post on his Facebook page.

 He said”A few years ago, people in Parma, especially, would typically associate Nigerian names with prostitution and drug dealing. The Nigerian community, of which Victoria is a member, made serious and coordinated attempts to change the narrative, nevertheless.

 He also said “We are happy that Victoria made us proud via her tenacity and dedication to political action, female rights, and liberation problems, which led to her success story today. She attempted five years ago but was unsuccessful, but today God has rewarded her efforts with success.
