Nancy Ajaj is a Sudanese singer who is admired across Sudan, and it’s not only for her beautiful voice that has captivated Sudanese.
At a time when the Sudanese media was trying to paint the protesters as thugs and mercenaries, Nancy Ajaj was one of the few voices that supported the peaceful protests.
She used her voice to sing for the revolution and spread a message of hope. Even prior to the revolution Nancy would never sing in support of the ruling party as many Sudanese singers did.
This post is about just a handful of times that made us love her even more!

1 When she wore the blue toub in solidarity with #BlueForSudan
That being said, it is important to note that thousands of Sudanaese women and men- not just Nancy- wore blue to help raise awareness for Sudan, and they have all been the greatest support to the SudanUprising.
Make sure you see the beautiful pictures of Sudanese women and men going #BlueForSudan across the world here.
