Oumou Haidara

My journey in this industry has been challenging but rewarding. I chose to start this work because I wanted to make sure that the news that's not reflected on mainstream media is something that I would be able to do. As the founder of my website, I produce the ideas, I also film them, and also make sure the details are correct and factual. I do more research just to make sure I'm giving up-to-date information, and then I proceed with uploading that information on the site. My actual job outside of the website is as an immigration manager. What I love most about my career is that I have autonomy over my time, and I'm also doing something positive, something that doesn't negatively impact the world. One of my most notable professional achievements is being respected in my community for the job that I do. I want to highlight media and news that mainstream media doesn't highlight. As a Muslim woman and an African woman, there's just news that positively or negatively impact us that I don't see reflected in the news.
