In this episode, we delve into the remarkable journey of Donald McLean, a man I've known since the late 90s when we worked together at the Norton Centre of Sheffield College. Back then, he was either the head of department or head of school—I can't remember exactly—but his influence was undeniable. Over the years, our paths have crossed frequently in Sheffield, leading to a conversational relationship that has always been enriching.
Recently, I've taken on coordinating the Black Barbers project at SACMHA, a venture Donald has been instrumental in since its inception. His strategic genius continues to drive the project forward, with him co-coordinating alongside me. Our shared interests and our bond as black men, friends, and human beings have made our discussions particularly enlightening.
Every conversation with Donald leaves me invigorated and inspired to do more for my community, my people, and my city of Sheffield. In this episode, we explore his journey, his contributions, and his vision for the future. Join us as we uncover the insights and motivations of this inspirational brother. Enjoy!
