About Akec Makur Chuot

Akec Makur Chuot’s story is one of grit, grace, and game-changing determination.

Born in South Sudan and raised in a Kenyan refugee camp, she rose to become the first African woman drafted into the AFLW, ultimately playing for Fremantle, Richmond, and Hawthorn before retiring in 2023.

But Akec’s impact extends far beyond the field.

Today, she’s a sought-after speaker, MC, and media talent whose presence lights up stages and screens alike.

Whether championing equity, sharing her story, or leading national campaigns, Akec uses her voice and lived experience to empower audiences to rise, dream big, and rewrite what’s possible.
