Better Perspectives with Omar Shaker

What happens when we excavate our race/identities and the demons that they carry?

Hatim El Tayeb, CEO and Ex-Dean of the African Leadership Academy, tackles his identities as a Sudanese who grew up in Oman and Egypt, studied in Boston and now living in South Africa.

We’ll cover our journey in uncovering out identities, and reflect back on our relationship in high school and how far we have come on these topics.

We quickly realize that opening up some of these old conversations is a major opportunity to own up to our ignorance, and celebrate what we have learned about ourselves since.
