We'll also explore public health and social resilience in the form of Mentorship and creativity with Grand Area Mentoring's Daniel McNeil. It is Black History Month, so we'll hear a word from George Christensen, former head of Radio One in Gambia speaking from way back in 2008 about the unique role community radio plays in developing resilience in humanity's freedom of expression.
