Mulunda Mother: Company and Mulunda

mulunda mother: As he points out, those words are not helpful when trying to carry on a conversation, according to The Waterloo Record. It was Mulunda mother who learned about the multicultural theatre company mentorship program last summer, its inaugural year. Mulunda is now brimming with confidence but he was a very different kid when he arrived in Canada, unable to speak a word of English other than naming common items such as chairs and tables. Young Company was created to give youth from diverse and indigenous backgrounds a platform to express their thoughts and ideas on subjects as far reaching as culture, identity and power. This company is about letting the seven participants, age 15 to 22, write their own script. For Mulunda, Young Company was the first step in being able to express such feelings. "My mother was into acting when she was young," he said. "My mom said 'You should go.'" Mulunda said that the program not only helped improve his English, but gave him an opportunity to express himself in profound ways. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
