When Edmontonians who share a common passion and vision come together, great things happen. When the great Edmonton poet, Ahmed ‘Knowmadic’ Ali was joined by community builder Keren Tang, Ribbon Rouge Foundation Moréniké Ọláòșebìkan, Jenna Mulji, and Maegan Robinson-Anagor, OtherWise was born.
OtherWise is a variety podcast dedicated to empowering diverse communities living on Treaty 6 territory by sharing stories of their lived experiences. It highlights their collective ethno-cultural-linguistic diversity and heritage, reflected in Edmonton as a City, and bring about positive social change.
On September 28, 2018, OtherWise was officially launched at the location of RISE Award recipient, ALIF Partners’s office, in downtown Edmonton. The launch event also celebrated some cultural music, some spoken word poetry, arts exhibitions, and created an opportunity to learn about the stories behind the vibrant art community in Edmonton.
