The Somali Youth Basketball League (SYBL) ended their second year yesterday at a ceremony in the west end of Ottawa. It was good to see so many young Somali youths, keeping out of the streets and doing something that is productive. Afterwards, I gave my little speech at MU’s event – we had a small crowd turn out, but they were engaged in the discussion and they had good questions. We ended up staying there two hours past the end time. The youths who showed up were interested in many topics, so inshallah in the future we will have some more dialogue series. I spoke with OG about some possible events in the future, sometime in August, we hope that will go well if we put everything together. I was also planning to hold a jam in Toronto for the magazine this summer, we’re still workin on that – but we haven’t finalized things just yet.
