Ep. 10: Appreciating Afro-Canadian Communities with Ama Ouattara


Listen Later

Ama is a passionate photo-journalist based in Ottawa,  Canada. In this episode, she comes onto the podcast to share her literary debut, "Djribo: The Little Story to Galvanize the Troops".  Djribo is a snapshot of Afro-Canadian experiences, cultures and  communities, and especially, Black excellence and celebration. You'll  hear Ama entice us with a short passage from her book, paint a picture  of the sounds and sights of Vanier, and talk about the importance of  supporting Black, African and Afro-Carribean writing, music, art, etc.,  because there is neither enough, nor should there be a limit. Close your eyes and let Ama's voice take you away on a trip that will leave you feeling inspired and full of hope for a world where everyone is seen and  celebrated.
