This week on Wonderspace we orbit with Kemo Camara. For the past 20 years, Kemo has lived, studied, and worked in cities across Africa, North America and Europe. He has founded startups, built non-profits and played various leadership roles in community organisations.
In 2019 he founded Omek whose mission is to amplify the talent, voices and energy of biculturals of African descent through programs and access to a diverse talent pool. This has led to partnerships with some of the world's leading brands such as Patagonia, Adidas and Google.
"You have a gift, you have a superpower and that's your bicultural identity. You have this African side of you but you also belong to this Western culture. Your ability to integrate these two cultures within your identity and leveraging your social capital, your human capital, your financial capital, your political capital, your philanthropy in connection with other like-minded people, there's nothing you won't be able to do.” (Kemo Q2)
