In collaboration with @fambul.co For SL Independence, we drop the merch. From preserving the culture to sparking imagination; this is how we tell our story. In our cadence, in our accent, in our memories of sitting around a campfire. Thank you for being part of #StorieStorie #SierraLeoneIndependence *LinkInBio

I am truly honoured to share that I have been awarded the Faith in Action Award under the Special Recognition category at the British Zariah Awards 2026. And why? Because of this work — this calling: Using storytelling to teach morals and values Helping young people find identity, confidence, and purpose Serving communities, both locally and globally Thank you for every space that has welcomed me to share this art. Spoken word storytelling is my passion — it is the bloodline passed down through the storytellers who came before me. I carry it with great responsibility and deep joy. I believe, that stories can heal, teach, and bring us together. To the British Zariah Award @centurionstaunchawards — thank be you for this recognition. I do not take it lightly. The mission continues. @centurionstaunchawards

What can I say? This is actually happening! Stories have been carrying me to places to inspire greatness and preserve the tradition! *Link in bio On Saturday, April 25th, 2026, the tradition of African storytelling takes center stage at The Theatre Center in Times Square, bringing the heart of the continent’s oral heritage to Broadway in a powerful, modern showcase. ​Headlining the evening is Alim Kamara, an internationally respected storyteller, author, and cultural educator from Sierra Leone, known for dynamic performances that blend folklore, history, humor, and life lessons for audiences of all ages. ​Also prominently featured is Ballet Fe Sa, a high-energy African percussive ensemble blending traditional West African rhythms with contemporary influences from Guinea, Mali, Ivory Coast, and Burkina Faso. ​Additional featured performers include: ​Namina Forna — New York Times bestselling Sierra Leonean-American author of The Gilded Ones, The Merciless Ones, and The Eternal Ones, celebrated for powerful, African-centered storytelling. ​Marion Grey — Sierra Leonean, NYC-based actress, writer, and performer with a poetic voice and commanding stage presence. ​ This year’s theme is “Know Yourself. Claim Your Power.” Throughout the experience, performers will guide audiences on a journey of reflection, identity, heritage, and inner strength — inspiring each person to recognize the greatness that already lives within them. ​This is a family-friendly experience — children, parents, and grandparents are all invited. Food is not included in the ticket price but will be available for purchase, catered by 2BigYai. #sierraleone #sierraleoneindependence #storytelling #culture tradition. 🎶 @twice_ice_official
