THE NEW CHIEFTAINS: AMBASSADORS
THE NEW CHIEFTAINS are a tribe of inspirational, talented people who have natural prowess, tenacity, leadership and individuality. This community, founded by Agenda Brown in 2014, are non-conformists who challenge the status quo - their instinct to succeed is driven by passion, instinct and endeavour. They are unlikely to identify themselves as CHIEFTAINS, even if they are high profile. They are not identified because of their celebrity, they are defined by their spirit!
Released in celebration of the 10 Year Anniversary, THE NEW CHIEFTAINS: AMBASSADORS by Agenda Brown, is a publication celebrating the stories of three people who exemplify the qualities he saw as central to the life of a NEW CHIEFTAIN.
Each chapter features an Ambassador and this book, one of Agenda’s first Marvelry Imprint editions, presents interviews with Bayode Oduwole, Ingmari Lamy and Master Franck M’Pinda, in addition to another original NEW CHIEFTAIN, Aaron Turner being interviewed on leadership. Agenda’s photographic stories on each of these charismatic individuals are a powerful combination of the unique visual storytelling in his extraordinary photography, and the rich narratives inside insightful interviews - a unique aspect of his creative practice.
NEW CHIEFTAINS can be found in many different arenas, from education, design and philanthropy to food and music. They are a growing tribe of people with enigmatic personalities across numerous disciplines. Their qualities include: tenacity, resilience, passion, unconventionality and non-conformity. They are part of the tribe because of who they are, and what they do to enhance society and the human spirit. Their careers are inconsequential to their selection; it is their journey towards living successful lives that serve to remind us we all have the potential to be NEW CHIEFTAINS at the end of the day.
