About

Hi, I'm Kareem Mayan. I co-founded Education Revolution.

I am a big media refugee.

I advise WorldBlu, helping them build democratic companies.

I moderate a council for Creative Good.

And, I helped bring Barcamp, a technology un-conference, to LA, which is where I live.

More about me.

Opinions stated here are mine alone.
