Communications Specialist & Wikimedian who is passionate about advancing Media & Information Literacy. Co-Founder Wikimedia Kenya UserGroup and Afrika Baraza Working Group Member.

I am Patricia Horrillo, a journalist specialized in communication and social media. Since 2015, I have been coordinating Wikiesfera (UG), a working group established in Madrid (Spain), where I assist more individuals in learning how to edit on Wikipedia and in gaining a deeper understanding of other projects within the Wikimedia universe. I am concerned about the existing knowledge gaps on Wikipedia: gender (on which I gave a TEDx talk titled "Nobody will talk about us (women) if we are not in Wikipedia"), as well as historically invisible minorities (LGBT community, Romani people, etc.) and everything related to the historical memory of Spain. To address these deficiencies, I organize thematic editatonas aimed at attracting new editors to the free encyclopedia.
