Amadou Diallo

Changemaker President - BSU

My name is Amadou Diallo. I am from Guinea, and I am currently pursuing my ITM bachelor’s degree at BSU. As an ITM junior student with a minor in Cybersecurity, I have a strong passion for using technology to make a positive impact. With a background in working with humanitarian NGOs that assist migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees, I have developed deep empathy and cross-cultural communication skills. I gained experience while working in various positions ranging from a translator and cultural mediator to being a receptionist, data technician, and administrator. Fluent in Fulani, French, English, and Turkish, I strive to leverage my diverse linguistic abilities to bridge gaps and create inclusive solutions.

My dream encompasses collaborating with diverse teams on projects that address global issues, such as cybercrime, privacy concerns, and information warfare, humanitarian services making a lasting impact on societies by empowering the vulnerable and minority people.

What would you do if you had to leave everything behind?

By the end of 2025, more than 117.8 million people worldwide had been forcibly displaced by war, persecution, or human rights abuses — and 45 million of them are children.

They arrive in refugee camps and countries seeking safety and carrying little: legal papers, if they're lucky. A backpack. A child's hand in theirs.

What they carry that we can't see is heavier: fractured families, homes they'll never return to, professions they loved, friends and relatives they may never see again.

In a climate where immigrant stories are often ignored or twisted, we believe stories are a form of justice. When someone shares what they survived, they reclaim their voice. When we amplify it through film, photography, and advocacy, the world listens. Hearts soften. Policy begins to shift.

Because when a lawmaker sees a person instead of a statistic, and a neighbor understands instead of fears, rebuilding becomes possible.

Your support helps us share these stories where they matter most.
