Hey, You can call me Ray

But just for the record I'm Raheal Amare. Born and raised in South London but roots in Eritrea. 

Many of my friends call me random, but its just me being creative. I know they secretly love it, were always up to new projects together whether its pottery classes, painting sessions or hosting book club together.

Even creating this website may seem random, but hey, why not...! ( i gotta learn how to use CRM tools like HubSpot for my career anyway, plus now i know how to build a website)

I'm pretty proud to say my names so unique I managed to even get first dibs on the domain.

After studying Business Marketing at the University of Westminster I travelled, worked and volunteered in local communities. 

I took a turn into youth work, starting local of course. Which was not such a large turn since my parents have been fostering children for over 20 years.

Here to showcase my career bringing learning art and music into my life and community. 

P.S

My names pronounced Rah-hell. My dad just wanted to be extra unique with the spelling.

Youth & Marketing Assistant

After visiting my home country Eritrea, I was driven by a deep sense of responsibility and the lingering guilt of having done too little to support people from my country. Which led me to volunteering with unaccompanied asylum seekers.
