Uzoma Chioma Asagwara, a Nigerian psychiatric nurse and former basketball player, has become the first black and non-binary person to hold the role of deputy premier in Manitoba, Canada.
Asagwara, who was first elected as the Member of the Legislative Assembly for Union Station in 2019, has also served as the official opposition critic for health, and passed a bill to recognize Somali Heritage Week. The appointment has elevated Asagwara’s status in Canadian politics and highlighted her commitment to health care.
