- History Made Welcoming
Kemdi is a star in the making. Smart, ambitious, and very well read, he is the kind of man you want to talk about history with all day and night because HE GETS IT, that history shows us how really bad stuff happened so we need not repeat the recipe for it. Kembi's sense of humor also serves him well. Loved our talk!
