To say my chat with Khalil covers a lot of ground would be an huge understatement. Geographically, we bounce from Kenya to Toronto, back to Kenya, down to Tanzania, and end in Vancouver. He talks about the difficulties he faced after immigrating to Canada in 1989. From direct personal experience, Khalil explains the lasting trauma that racism and intolerance have on a child.
Career wise, he chose to walk a different path. Not 'feeling' any of the standard options - doctor, lawyer, engineer - he followed his heart, pursuing work in child care. From here, Khalil founded CampUS!, where he creates engaging outdoor experiences for children centered on meditation and mindfulness.
So have a listen. Khalil is an incredible storyteller.
Thanks for listening. Enjoy.
