Omer is the executive director of African Services Coalition which is located in downtown Greensboro. He and his staff assist many refugees that are located here from countries such as Sudan, Somalia and the Congo. He's busy all the time helping people, so I'm appreciative of the time he gives me to explain the DATS MashUp project in detail after bugging him in hallways and between conference meetings.
I bring along some purple sweet potatos and Land of Saura sweet potato butter and we agree this event could be a great way to share culture with the American mainstream and introduce new ideas about diversity. Omer thinks aloud about possible clients he believes would be a good fit. He'll get back to me with some names after he contacts them, he says.
