Amsterdam News: "Inside The Diaspora hosting big Afrobeats show in Queens"
By OLAYEMI ODESANYA
Sierra Leone is coming to Queens. This Friday, Dec.10, The Emmerson NYC-XPERIENCE Concert will be taking place at Amazura in Queens, New York. Emmerson NYC-XPERIENCE 2021 will mark the first Afrobeats concert headlined by one of Sierra Leone’s biggest artists, Emmerson.
“The goal of this concert is to showcase talent from my country in a proper way, at a proper venue, for a proper crowd,” multimedia journalist and publicist Fatima Sesay said. “I want to show the world Sierra Leone has talent, and our music is also capable of winning international accolades.” Sesay is well-known for her work in public relations for large scale events and concerts such as One Africa Music Fest, The Burna Boy Concert at the Apollo Theater, and Davido at PlayStation Theatre.

No One Is Excluded
Straight out of the hurdles the civil war inflected upon Sierra Leone, Fatima Sesay found herself waking up in New York City, where dreams are embedded in skyscrapers. She escaped war, and now is living her dream.
'Are you sure that's what you're going to do? You're not going to make money.' These words were splashed on Sesay's face over and over as she crossed the bridge to self-discovery, simply because she chose to follow a different path; she chose to be a journalist.
"At the end of the day, it's not about where you work, it's about how you present yourself," said Sesay, the young woman who decided to become a journalist instead of a doctor, lawyer, or an engineer --professions which African parents would rather see their sons/daughters pursue.
