A little bit about myself, my name is Idrissa Kabore.I am 21 years old, I’m from Mali ,Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast. I was born in Canada and I moved to Africa when I was 6 years old . First I was in Mali for 3 years then I moved to Ivory Coast where I lived for 5 years and finally I lived in Ghana for 3 years then I came to Canada. I moved a lot around Africa and I experienced our rich cultures in their similarities and differences.Living in the motherland helped me understand our struggles as a continent. Living in the west helped realize how we are perceived around the world and how we should build our communities to face the many challenges we face all around and at home.

As a student at Concordia University I was looking to meet other people from the African Diaspora. That’s when I joined ACsion Concordia and ASAC. I was an ambassador for both associations which led me to want to become an executive member of Acsion Concordia.
Why will I be a good central coordinator?
