After quitting a violent street gang three years ago, Yousef Kamara hopes his journey to acclaim as a poet can offer an example to other wayward youths in Freetown, Sierra Leone
FREETOWN - In his poem “Rough Path”, Yousef Kamara reflects on his years selling drugs and stealing as the leader of a street gang in Sierra Leone’s capital, Freetown.
Kamara has been published in several international poetry magazines and was invited last year to attend the African Writers Conference in Kenya. Tired of life on the streets, however, he began looking for an exit and found one through Way Out, a media studio founded by an English filmmaker in 2008 that encourages underprivileged young people to enter the arts.
