What is it?

S4G, the un-mediated, not moderated social platform

Have you ever thought you have something to “express” with a social dimension but never had the opportunity to do it?

Then S4G is what you are looking for:

  • Open, unrestricted and easy to use
  • Three mediums to choose from: TEXT, VIDEO, PHOTO
  • A way to express your ideas, reflections and expertise, on social issues and broader development and society at large
  • You do not need to be an expert but just passionate about what you share

Submitted by Michael Rosenkrantz 04Jul

I met Akheel a few years ago when he was working on starting an adaptive sports program at San Diego State University.  He is a bright shining light in the world of providing more opportunities for persons with disabilities to play sports.  You'll find this interview very engaging as we talk about Akheel's childhood, his being a Paralympian in Rio and his starting of the SDSU program, one of the few in the US.  We also talk about racism and what we have to do in moving forward.
