This month I’ll be one of two Keynotes at the fourth annual Sierra Leone Arts & Culture Festival (SLACFest). This year’s theme is Sierra Leone Beyond Borders: the Past, the Present & the Future (Trade, Tide ɛn Tumara).

Our Global “Professional Sierra Leonean” Ade Daramy will give the Keynote Address on Sierra Leone’s Past (Trade) and I will give the Keynote Address on Sierra Leone’s Present (Tide).

Ade Daramy is a Sierra Leonean journalist, broadcaster, social commentator, motivational speaker and media trainer. He has worked with the BBC World Service, he is a presenter on Colourful Radio in the UK and is also an editor at the Journal of Sierra Leone Studies and African lifestyle magazine, Promota Africa.
