Hello, I am Zeriah Otutu, director of MGTY and I am also known as “Zee D Barber.” I began learning the art of barbering at age 13, recognising early on the importance of developing a skill that would provide a legal income and pave the way for my career. Over time, barbering has become a significant part of my identity. To share my passion and expertise, I now teach young people aged 15-25, offering them unique skills not typically covered in standard college courses, including the care of Afro hair and the safe use of shavers in my own project “Skool of Barbering”
As the director of MGTY (Manchester’s Got Talent Youth), I manage the youth side of our organisation. My role at MGTY is closely connected to my work as a barber. Through barbering, I not only earn a living but also mentor and guide young people, helping them develop valuable skills and a sense of purpose. At MGTY, we engage in diverse activities to raise awareness on serious issues while creating fun and positive events and projects for the community.
We support and showcase performers such as dancers, singers, rappers, and poets through radio and stage shows, encouraging other young people to pursue legal income sources and positive contributions. Being a barber is more than just cutting hair; it involves being a counsellor and a confidant for our clients. We provide a space where they can share their thoughts and seek guidance, which is a core value I bring to my work at MGTY.
I am passionate about continuing this impactful work alongside my mum (Shar), striving to do our best for our community. I am immensely proud of how far we’ve come, bolstered by the encouragement, support, and recognition from our community, including awards and donations. I look forward to fostering more positivity with other incredible young people and collaborating with organisation’s to make a mark on the world. As our motto at MGTY says, “Together we are stronger.”
Paul Obinna Wilson-Eme was born in 1959 of Igbo (Nigerian) and English (British) parentage in Preston, U.K. and is a qualified Teacher who has presented lectures and workshops both nationally and internationally over the last 38 years.
To better understand the historical relationship between the African & European worlds, he designed the LINEAGE TIMELINE, a scroll depicting a 9,000-year continuum, designed to expand the viewer’s comprehension of key psycho-historical happenings, both including and way past the contentious periods of Arab & European Colonization & Slavery.
Central to his work and the Lineage Timeline design is the focus and promotion of HYSTORY* the innate, human genetic potential held by every human being. This is what Paul terms ‘Rehumanisation’, the natural healing response to the Dehumanising effects of the attack over the last two millennia on the female and feminine qualities within cultures and bicameral institutions.
(*Hyste is Greek for Womb. HYSTORYtherefore is the “…Story from the Womb…” of the entire Human Family.)
This information is vital at what Paul terms ‘THE LINEAGE INTERFACE’ in any workplace where this extended sense of history is used to lay the foundation of becoming fully “P.C.” meaning Personal Confidence and Professional Competence on the way to World Citizenship.
Carols, decorations, cookies, fried beef, red stews and more bills…. December comes with its craziness and you’ll probably find yourself overworked, exhausted, and frustrated by the end of the month.
Maybe these practical tips will help:
How about spending time with yourself this year relaxing at home and do some reflecting?
Rather than spending more money on expensive gifts, how about buying good quality gifts on sale or organise a small eat at my house over games? No gifts just good home cooked meals, drinks, good music and conversations.
Wear something from your closet. Do you need to sew something new this year?
Track every expense to avoid overspending.
Please remember life goes on after the holiday season, so be good to your wallets, so you don’t cry in the new year.
Feel free to share how you’re holding up this season.
