March is Local with Ishmail Kamara
• – • The Social Hub
About the speaker
Author, poet, writer, storyteller, actor, book lover, and community developer. Born in Sierra Leone, West Africa.
Ishmail believes that storytelling is one of the bridges that connect people from different backgrounds. And also the source of finding solutions to settle our differences. He speaks Temne, Krio, English, and Dutch.
His passion is developing people and communities through education and culture. He loves sportsmanship, respect, and equal opportunity for all.
He describes himself as not a workaholic and he brings positivity to his work environment and puts smiles on his colleagues' faces. He loves cooking, reading, and playing soccer. But most of all, performing on stage.
Additional details
Our theme for March is LOCAL. It was chosen by our Santos chapter in Brazil and illustrated by Simone Matias.
Local (pronounced lo·cal) in Portuguese means “being a resident or native to a particular area.”
Our Santos chapter had this to say about the significance of this month’s theme:
“We are proud to be from Santos. The feeling of loving the city but sometimes moving away. The benefits of belonging somewhere.”
So, how does where you’re from define who you are? How do different spaces foster that sense of connection? How can we develop and strengthen bonds with the people around us?
It’s time to remind ourselves that community happens in neighborhoods not just on screens.
