In this episode, I sit down with Pious Ali, City Councilor At-Large and Mayor Pro Tem of Portland, Maine, for a powerful conversation on leadership, community, and civic responsibility.
Born in Ghana and now the first Ghanaian to occupy a public office in the United States, Pious Ali’s journey is one defined by service, courage, and purpose. From his early work as a photojournalist to becoming a trusted voice in education, refugee services, and community engagement, his story reflects what is possible when commitment meets vision.
We discuss his work as the founding Director of Portland Empowered, his role in shaping public education policy, and his deep involvement with institutions such as the Muskie School of Public Service, the NAACP, Seeds of Peace, and refugee services in Portland. Pious also shares insights from his experience founding and co-founding youth and civic organizations dedicated to leadership, interfaith dialogue, and social change.
This conversation explores representation, immigrant leadership, public service, and the responsibility of using power to uplift communities. It is a story of Ghanaian excellence on a global stage and a reminder that impact is built through consistent, intentional engagement.
