Alpha Dia: 'Racism is easier to fight with confidence'
Liberation is a big word. When I grew up in Dakar, I had nothing. There were times when people would come from Europe on their holidays and they would give us a football, which would make our day. So whenever I went back to Senegal, I would try and give something back. It started with organising little football games. Then, some equipment for the schools. But soon I found that the problem was not really the schools, because in Africa they already have organisations that help to make safe and educational environments for kids. The problem was outside their schools and homes.
