About Mustafa Ahmed
————–
Mustafa Ahmed is a 17-year-old spoken word artist, actor and emcee based in the city of Toronto. Writing from the mere age of 10, Mustafa has utilized this tool of words to help express the different things he witnesses within society. It was after a feature in 2009 in the Toronto Star that he exploded onto the arts scene to continue to share his words.
Coming from Regent Park – North America’s first and largest existing housing project – Mustafa has been a witness to the changes and gentrification of his neighbourhood. He utilizes the power of the arts to speak and demonstrate his understanding of the intricacies of communities such as his, touching upon topics such as youth empowerment, mental health, Islam, immigration, youth on youth violence, politics, bullying, philanthropy, the search for peace and unleashing the creativity of youth.
