Estifanos Taddese

Estifanos Taddese is a busy parent of two school-aged boys. Since June 2019 he has been advising RDF as to London based communities and various types of youth gangs - how they operate and how they come into existence. 

His extensive insight and background knowledge provides RDF with often ground-breaking information on the behaviour of young people within deprived communities - drawing on unique contexts and perspectives often not available from mainstream media such as TV, newspapers or social-media.

Estifanos is self-taught and extremely knowledgeable in African culture, African history, philosophy and world-wide politics. He has indeed, from an early age, travelled many parts of the globe and experienced many extraordinary, breath-taking adventures.

Estifanos assists RDF in many ways, including providing first-hand experience of traversing the many challenges of parenting typical to deprived areas and cities in the UK.
