Sharpsburg: Career Chronicles

Bring the whole family to our NEW Career Chronicles program! At each session, we'll explore a career with someone working in our greater Pittsburgh community, read a related story, and participate in a craft or activity.

This month, we're pleased to welcome Farooq Ameen Al-Said the Director of Operations at 1Hood Media, an arts and activism collective!

Farooq Ameen Al-Said, is an award winning, Emmy nominated Artivist (artist/activist) from Toronto, Canada, residing in Pittsburgh, PA. He has gone from a once incarcerated individual to K-8 classroom teacher and now serves as Director Of Operations for the national Arts & Activism collective, 1Hood Media.  

He'll be talking to us about his work as an Artivist and what you can do to be one, too!
