David Christopher Lewis

Mamade Kadreebux is an enigma as most great masters are An author of five books acclaimed for their profound literary and poetic quality, Mamade tells David the story of his wandering the world from his native Island of Mauritius as a teen, hitchhiking through two continents on a voyage of self-discovery with humility as its destination. Fluent in French, Creole, Spanish and English he now lives in a Berkley, CA studio as a Muslim community leader and spiritual pioneer. He is recognized for his epic photography from every region he visited, including places never before photographed. And he is revered for his wisdom and humility. As he states in his autobiography, "Humility is the beginning of philosophy." Mamade reveals the transformation of his youth and innocence to the maturity of wisdom and holiness.
