I’m not the only one to have noticed
this man recently. Apparently a woman from Russia stopped him with the same
question I did when he was in Turkey recently, “Can I take your picture?” It
seems like a perfectly normal response to a man looking as particular and
dapper as this.
As we talked it transpired that I had
been in the same venue with Ismail some years previously when we were both
promoting different parts of our combined history as part of the Northampton
Black History Association.
Ismail was previously a Chairman of the
Somali Community Association in the town. He has recently founded and is
current Chairman of the Somali Health Awareness Foundation. It seems he will
continue to make a positive and lasting impression wherever he is and whatever
he gets involved with.
