Who am I ...now?

Who am i? sometimes i wonder myself, what am i here for? is there a definite knowing or do we all make it up as we go along on our journey through this time and space?

I feel young, I feel new; I feel like all most of the things i learnt in the years before have helped me to this point but now i find i must learn more, do more to succeed and thrive. It's a new era, the game changes fast and i must go with the tide or be swept aside like a broken branch washed ashore. ...but what is this i find? no pressure? or is it there and I am handling it quite well, taking it in stride? I believe the latter is the case, and even though I often ask what it takes to make it in this industry in my country, I find I am gradually making head-way, I am on the right path and my light has begun to shine.
I dream of raising the next generation of photographers and artists who use the medium as a voice, who look beyond making a living but seeing it as Art and that their art can influence/change the society. Even though I am daily faced with the seemingly up-hill task of pooling the resources together to make this happen.

My purpose in taking part in the 'Warriors Without Weapons' program is to be able to look beyond myself, beyond the daily hustle for sustenance, to see me as part of a whole and not just a lone individual, and be able to give of myself to others and help them achieve something through the skills i would have imbibed during the course of the program.

In a way, I have done something like this(WWW) before; I was a member of a gospel dance group for youths in universities called 'Spirit Of David' Gospel Dance Club that helped form other dance groups in schools which enabled young people be positively engaged in their spare time.

When I get back from the program, I hope to have better ideas and more insight as to how to develop a community program for youth in my area, and a better understanding of what type of program that would be of benefit to them.

A first foray...

Hello everyone, my name is Chiemela Azurunwa, my friends and colleagues call me Chaz though.

This is my first attempt at blogging and i believe it can only get better. ...enjoy.
