About this listen
On this episode, Conrad and Imani are joined by Edafe Okporo. Edafe is running for city council in New York City District 7, located in west Harlem. Edafe was born in Nigeria. Edafe shares how he migrated to the United States in 2016 as an asylum seeker and is now a refugee of the United States. He talks about his global activism and his concern with the issue of displacement. He wants to live in a world that is a place of welcome for LGBTQ displaced people. Edafe believes that New York City needs leaders who are willing to stand up for bold change and show that government is capable of solving our biggest problems. He hopes to be an independent voice for upper Manhattan, fighting against the political establishment to make sure that housing is truly affordable, that our streets are safe, and that our government is accountable to its constituents. Hopefully, after this episode you will have a better understanding of the role that city council plays and insight into Edafe’s not only as a politician but more importantly, as a person.
