DUNIA Magazine cordially invites you to an event we will be hosting on August 31, 2013, in Atlanta-GA, titled ‘An Evening with ISAIAH WASHINGTON’. Our theme for the night will be “Bridging the Gap”. This will be the first in a series of annual conversations between Africans and African Americans.
DUNIA is “The Reader’s Magazine” bringing together people of different cultural backgrounds to talk about what makes them different, yet same as you and me. The premise at Dunia, which means “world” in Swahili, is that a little understanding of where we each come from culturally, breeds understanding among the people of the earth. Conversely, a lack of such understanding sows the kind of stereotyping that often results in misunderstandings and conflict.

Up Close and Personal with ISAIAH
Whether in his professional life as an actor and producer or his personal role as a husband, father and humanitarian, Isaiah Washington passionately commits himself to all ventures. As an actor, critics have lauded Isaiah’s ability to effortlessly disappear into each role; allowing the audience to become acquainted with the multifaceted nature of the character.
Washington was the Master of Ceremonies for the first White House Summit on Malaria to fight the deadly disease malaria in 15 African countries. In September 2008, he attended the 63rd United Nations General Assembly in New York City as an advisor to President Ernest Bai Koroma of the Republic of Sierra Leone. Following this event, President Koroma traveled to Washington, D.C. and announced that Washington would be granted full citizenship of Sierra Leone. Isaiah Washington’s historical citizenship was finalized on April 26, 2010, making him the first person ever (African American especially) to receive full African citizenship based on DNA.
Isaiah is also the recipient of several awards, both National and International, including 2 NAACP Image Awards, Planet Africa’s 2009 Marcus Garvey Memorial Award, The Daily Voice 2009 Hope Award, Oliver Hill Foundation’s 2009 Speakers Award, The African Achievement 2009 Philanthropy Award, National Organization of Sierra Leoneans in America Diamond Award, 2009 Who’s Who In Los Angeles, and more. Isaiah Washington will become the first African American to lead an Africa/South Korean Alliance designed to rebuild the infrastructure of Sierra Leone with his new company HIRA INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP, LLC overseeing a multi-million dollar investment fund.
