Today we’d like to introduce you to Sharafa Aremu. He shares his story with us below:
An accredited author and accomplished photographer, Sharafa Aremu grew up in, both, NW DC and Prince George’s County, MD. A graduate of DuVal High School in Lanham, MD, Rafa studied Broadcast/Communications at Bowie State University between 2000-03 before moving into the medical field.
With 15 years of medical experience (ophthalmology and cardiology) under his belt, Rafa maintained his love and passion for various arts, such as photography, music, and literary. Since 2019, Rafa has released four children’s books, all primarily based on inclusivity, self-love, and acceptance. He currently resides in NW Washington D.C.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
There’s always going to be hindrances and bumps on the road to achievements and it’s perfectly human and fine to stumble and get yourself together. The trick is to not to allow anything to stop you… nothing! It all boils down to whether or not you, as a person, are strong enough to get over what’s placed in front you.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
When it comes to my creative side, I’ve penned story and poetry books for children of all ages. I’ve always been a fan of literature so the area was a bit fun to paint in my life. All books are current on Amazon… Feel free to check them out. -Home is Where the Heart Is
-We Are American
-Jeremy Jackson and The World Within
-Tiana the Terrific and True
All written by Sharafa Aremu
On the flip side, I’m a photographer and I specialize in street photography. I’ve always had a fascination with photography. it’s a passion that brings me joy… and hopefully, those who see my work can feel this passion.
I also run a communication consultation firm, Studio RAMI LLC, with my partner. We specialize in media communication and growth consultation for STEAM (science, tech, engineering, art, math) companies.
Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
Love and literature, peace and passion, music and message, genuine friendship, delicious food from various ethnicities.
