FOLORUNSHO campaing
TED x Berlin “CHANGE YOUR CHANNEL” was independently translated into more than 5 languages and became a global grassroots – phenomena that was shared over 50 million times via social media platforms, raising social awareness.
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences where Mallence Bart-Williams introduced her second home Sierra Leone and its talented people, who are part of her project FOLORUNSHO.
Within their three years of operation, her collective has taken homeless children off the streets and into school, developed a sneaker and clothing collection, published a book and documentary of their story, and has held fine art exhibitions.
Through her work with FOLORUNSHO she connects cultural contrast, enabling people to share ideas, take action, and get results.
