In episode 36, I interviewed Rozan Ahmed. Rozan is an ambassador, advocate, activist, champion of the arts a cultural practitioner, and preservationist. Born in West London to Sudanese parents, her formative years were abruptly disrupted, when while living in Kuwait she suddenly became a refugee and her father and uncle were taken hostage when the gulf war broke out.
As the youngest appointed editor in British publishing, Rozan joined RWD magazine and took lead in discovering, cultivating, and pioneering the UK’s biggest urban music & lifestyle publication.
Throughout Sudan, South Sudan, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Kenya, and more, Rozan developed a series of monumental campaigns surrounding arts and peace and has been recognized by the United Nations, the Government of Sudan, and the Government of Southern Sudan for orchestrating the country’s first celebratory concert highlighting the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement.
Through her continued support and cultivation of African culture, music & fashion, Rozan launched ‘Africanism’-- a platform to redefine the continent’s artistic authority – at home and abroad. Continuing with fashion, and merging her humanitarian efforts, Rozan’s most recent endeavor (‘The Magic Drive’) focuses on sustainable luxury/tourism and ‘expansion education’ to ignite the creative potential of orphans and other children in crisis in Kenya, and beyond.
