CURRENT MISSION

Moving forward to something new...

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty chilled out person and like to think I'm easy to get along with. I enjoy interacting with all kinds of people and am passionate about being a positive force in society. I love music and books.

PHILOSOPHY

Challenging relations of oppression and domination in society.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: So much. I've been lucky enough to be exposed to many different styles of music and I appreciate particular things about each of them. Some of my bands: P-Funk, King Sunny Ade, Oumou Sangare, Mos Def, Little Dragon, Avishai Cohen, Norma Jean, D'Angelo, Carlo Mombelli, Stevie Wonder, Louis Moholo, Rage Against The Machine, Steel Pulse...

Books: Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, bell hooks, Teaching to Transgress, Steve Biko, I write what I like, Toni Morrison, Jazz, Ama Ata Aidoo, Our Sister Killjoy...

Teach, Learn, Share

Some of my favourite conversations as a traveller have been with people who have told me about the political and social context of their country. I am always interested in hearing about that and understanding international linkages and similarities in different places around the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music, radical ideas, some African history, critical perspectives, laughs...
