PaperTrails - S5 Episode 10 - Somalis living in Random Chinese Villages
Description
Welcome to Paper Trails, a podcast by Inspyre UK, where we explore the profound stories and ideas that connect people through books, culture, and creativity.
In this episode, Sharkz and Sharmarke sit down again with Mohamed Mohamud, founder of Somali Sideways and writer of the new play Between 2 Worlds. He shares what inspired the story, how it captures the experience of living between cultures, and the lessons he has learned from telling Somali stories across the globe.
From the origins of the Between 2 Worlds Play, to the wildest and most unexpected places he has met Somalis. Mohamed reflects on identity, storytelling, and the importance of representing your people with honesty and heart.
It is a conversation about creativity, belonging, and how powerful stories can connect communities no matter where in the world they are told.
