S:2 E:47 Amadou Camara: Climbing The Hill
On S: 2 E: 47 Rick welcomes Amadou Camara, an architectural designer, and the author of Climbing The Hill, a memoir tracing his journey from childhood trauma in Guinea to building a new life in the U.S. through resilience, creativity, and courage. His story touches on surviving abuse, navigating immigration, and finding healing through education and design. His journey from West Africa to Madison, Wisconsin and switching from French to English inspired a special bilingual version of Rick’s seasonal rendition of one of the all-time jazz classics, Autumn Leaves! In this episode, Amadou offers a powerful perspective on what it means to rise from adversity without losing your sense of self. He speaks from the heart about transformation, mental health, and the immigrant experience—with a focus on giving voice to those who suffer in silence. His background in architecture adds a creative dimension to his message about rebuilding not just spaces, but lives. His message centers around hope, healing, and how pain can be a catalyst—not a cage. Sharing his story with an honest, uplifting, and globally-minded voice.
