Youth Empowment Media Training

Youth Empowerment Media Training

In 2017, within Makeni, located in the Northern region of Sierra Leone, I orchestrated a training program aimed at empowering young individuals. This training primarily revolved around the art of cinematography, a skill I believe is an innate gift from a higher power. I am motivated to impart this cinematic knowledge as my way of giving back to my society. Sierra Leone, unfortunately, lacks a dedicated film school where individuals can readily access this valuable knowledge. Reflecting on my own journey of struggling to acquire filmmaking skills, I resolved to spare the youth in Sierra Leone from similar hardships. Consequently, I've committed myself and my team to providing free training across various regions of Sierra Leone, including Makeni. The objective is to ensure that young people in Sierra Leone do not have to endure the same challenges I faced when pursuing my passion for filmmaking. Makeni is one of the communities where we are actively offering this training.
