"Shake It Off and Step Up" | Alim Kamara | TEDxTottenham

Alim's performance was the perfect closing to what was an exceptional day. He captivated the audience with his storytelling and truly captured their hearts with his emotive poetry. What stood out however was his admirable humility. Following his calling to deliver storytelling helped Alim through the trials in life. Relaying stories that mirror actual real world obstacles was therapeutic for himself as well as his audience. In his own words: "Storytelling allows us to create our own free will, using imagery and conclusions. It probably saved my life." The wind is speaking and Alim is translating it the best way he knows how. Storytelling, Rhythm and poetry have transported Alim to different countries and has spoken to thousands of young people, from Canada to Dubai to Dubai, Holland, Canada, Sierra Leone, The Gambia and The USA. Just like the Griots from his past, Alim leaves his audience captivated with all his performances and craving to not only enjoy his stories; but to learn, relate and elevate. "Great storytelling is ultimately about capturing elegant context to the complexity and the nuances of life."
