Leyla Kazim and producer Robbie Armstrong explore the central role of food in building community, shaping identity and providing culturally appropriate spaces for refugees and asylum seekers in Glasgow, resettled in the city as part of the UK Government's asylum dispersal policy. Leyla speaks to Selina Hales, founder of charity Refuweegee, which distributes welcome packs and emergency food parcels, runs community meals and organises events for people starting a new life in Glasgow. Teresa Piacentini of the Glasgow Refugee, Asylum & Migration Network outlines how the dispersal system works, the changing landscape in Glasgow, and how food is used to establish community, identity and belonging for those seeking refuge or making a new home in Scotland. Ibrahim Kamara and Arij Alnajjar take Leyla out for lunch, where they discuss their experience in the asylum system, and how crucial food has been in helping them reclaim their identity and share their culture and cuisine with friends in a foreign country. Producer Robbie Armstrong visits the Garnethill Multicultural Centre to meet development worker Vivien Opiolka. He attends their community meal, and hears from service users about the importance of shared meals for those in the asylum system. Robbie shows Leyla around his neighbourhood of Govanhill, Scotland's most multicultural area, and talks about its diverse array of cuisines, restaurants and affordable supermarkets. We hear from councillor Roza Salih, herself a Kurdish refugee and member of the legendary activist group the Glasgow Girls. She visits Kurdish kebab takeaway Shawarma King to toast owner Majed Badrekhan on his takeaway being crowned ‘best kebab in Scotland' two years in a row. Closer to home, Leyla visits the Cyprus House restaurant in the Turkish Cypriot Cultural Association in Green Lanes, North London, where she reflects on her Cypriot heritage, her dad's escape from war-torn Cyprus, and why food is a central part of her identity. Presented by Leyla Kazim. Produced by Robbie Armstrong.

Ibrahim Kamara's career began selling Lucozade at school.   Now, he's the co-founder and CEO of GUAP, a seven-figure company that can rightfully be described as the home of emerging creatives.   His early life was challenging, seeing his family go from financially wealthy to arriving home to see all their possessions outside on the street, when business took a turn for the worst and his parents separated.   He openly shares the impact of witnessing domestic abuse in the home and how that inspired him to step up and provide for the family.  Since the company was founded in 2015, GUAP has worked with some of the biggest companies in the world (Apple, Nike and more) and they've just announced the GUAP Gala.   Supported by Instagram, the event will take place at the Natural History Museum, and promises to be an experimental award show focused on highlighting key individuals and brands in creative culture.   In this episode, Ibrahim tells the story of how he made his dreams a reality, providing valuable advice for any aspiring entrepreneur.

For the latest Forever Forwards episode, the group connect with Ibrahim Kamara, co-founder of the youth-led, new media platform, GUAP. Born and raised in London, Ibrahim speaks bout rapping from a young age (2:13) and how his DIY approach taught him to develop his skills in graphic design, filming and editing, which he still uses today. He reflects on his first entrepreneurial venture, a doomed party that bore a resemblance to Fyre Festival (3:33) and how it was an important lesson. Ibrahim then breaks down the purpose of GUAP (10:00) and how he wants it to be the home of under-represented emerging creatives. (21:51) Ibrahim's dedication is evident when he reveals he adopted a minimalist lifestyle for four years to ensure his business could survive. The South Londoner also speaks on the need to relax and take a break, as he is dedicated to his craft but realises the need to preserve his mental health (24:22).

The renowned stylist and fashion director talks to BoF’s Editor-at-Large Tim Blanks about his time creating under lockdown.   Quarantine hasn’t stopped stylist and art director Ibrahim Kamara from creating. Although he is unable to work on his usual fantastical fashion visuals, the time spent in his London home is nonetheless far from wasted. “I might not be able to achieve my dreams right now, but I can write them and make a note of them,” Kamara told BoF’s Editor-at-Large Tim Blanks in the latest episode of the BoF Podcast. Born in Sierra Leone, Kamara moved to London in his early teens. He has since worked with some of fashion’s biggest names, including Stella McCartney, Fenty and Hermès as well as British Vogue, Love and AnOther. During lockdown, Kamara and Blanks touched base to talk about photography as a force for change.  Kamara’s ethereal aesthetic pays tribute both to his West African roots and to London, the city he has lived in for the past ten years. For Kamara, the beauty of his visuals exist in this intersection of cultures. “When I’m making work, I want people to stop and take in so much,” he said. “If an image doesn’t stop you, it doesn’t really do it’s job… That’s how I make photos, I want people to look at them twice.” Kamara sees technology as a source of endless inspiration. It is through Instagram he met and befriended Kristin-Lee Moolman, one of Kamara’s longtime collaborators, with whom he has worked on countless projects. “It’s so good to find people who you think can bring something to your world,” he said. Social media has also upended fashion’s longstanding hierarchies, Kamara said, adding that people can now more easily collaborate on ambitious projects without the approval and support of established magazines.  Looking to the future, Kamara hopes to inspire a new generation of young image-makers to find confidence in their ways of seeing and believe in their creative visions. Only by supporting, cultivating and promoting the next generation of creative talent can the fashion industry progress: “[I want to] push the industry [forward]… and make it a space where everyone can dream.”   Sign up for BoF’s Daily Digest newsletter here: http://bit.ly/BoFnews.

Le menu du Café des Sports : un Danois au Barça ! Les Blaugranas, dont l’attaque est décimée, autorisés à recruter un joker médical pour pallier la longue absence d’Ousmane Dembélé, ont finalement opté pour Martin Braithwaite, l'attaquant de Leganés. Il leur fallait un joueur avec une licence espagnole, et qui n’était pas qualifié pour la Ligue des Champions. Le choix provoque le courroux du club entraîné par Javier Aguirre, qui lutte pour le maintien en Liga et est forcé de céder un joueur d'importance sans avoir la possibilité de se retourner pour le remplacer !Si Braithwaite est prolifique avec son club, est-il le bon joker pour les Catalans ? Le FCB profite d’une règle étonnante, comment la formation de la banlieue madrilène peut-elle ne pas s’estimer lésée ? Règlement à changer ? Retour aux terrains avec en Angleterre un Chelsea-Tottenham capital dans la course à la C1. Pas forcément une affiche qui convient aux « Blues », ils retrouvent justement la Ligue des Champions trois-jours plus tard en accueillant l’ogre bavarois en huitièmes-aller ! L’occasion d’une répétition générale ? Auront-ils la tête ailleurs ? Les Spurs les suivent à 1 point en Premier League et doivent reprendre des couleurs après la défaite concédée face à Leipzig. Retour du « Mou », qui peste contre un calendrier surchargé, dans un stade qu’il connaît bien. Coup de théâtre chez les Éléphants ! Ibrahim Kamara quitte le banc ivoirien. Un départ qui intervient à un mois de la double confrontation contre Madagascar dans le cadre des qualifications à la CAN. Qui pour lui succéder ? La phase finale du CHAN au Cameroun. Coup d’envoi dans moins d'un mois et demi. Ce championnat, qui se déroule dans le pays d’accueil de la prochaine CAN, est-il encore dans l’ombre de la compétition reine ? Suscite-t-il l’engouement, même sans les « stars » expatriées ? La séquence des cartons pour clore une émission qui se déroulera en direct et en Facebook live. Annie Gasnier sera entourée d’Habib Beye, d’Alejandro Valente, de Rémy Ngono et de Xavier Barret. Coup d’envoi 15h10 T.U.

Ibrahim Kamara was born in Kuwait but moved to Tennessee as a kid. He was raised Muslim, and he cherishes his faith community. At the age of 13, he realized that his attractions were different from other boys. He tried to pray away the gay, bargaining with Allah because Ibrahim wanted to spend Paradise in his own Versailles-like palace.  Eventually, he realized that he had to live an authentic life. He has a passion for helping others understand that we are all intersectional beings, and those diverse aspects make us who we are. He is active in queer interfaith groups on his college campus and is the co-founder of a Denver-based group for queer Muslims.
