More than one perspective. More than one path. More than one lens.

It’s a superpower. Biculturalism shows up subconsciously informing our work in ways trends never could.

Appreciation Post Alert! 💐 

The Omek Summit is one of the clearest expressions of what collaboration means to us. Built off shared values and vision, the event is a space designed for and by way of collaboration. This year, Ye Bo Game was one of our partners who brought the sparks to the evening experience ✨

Ye Bo Game, which translates to “we play the game” in Twi, is an Amsterdam-based collective built around connection, creativity, and community. Founded by seven friends who grew up in Amsterdam South-East, they’ve taken their gaming and networking events across Amsterdam, Rotterdam, London, and Kumasi, from board games to digital gaming to large-scale group experiences.

If you’re not already, follow them and join them in September at Music & Dance Game Night in Amsterdam! 🔥

CONNECT. PLAY. DANCE.

We’re incredibly happy and proud to announce that Omek is officially partnering with Patagonia! Through Omek’s Career Platform, this collaboration connects Patagonia’s mission-driven culture with professionals who share a passion for creating meaningful work 🏔️

We’ve been working alongside Patagonia since 2022 on various projects and this milestone marks our first long-term partnership together. Like Omek, Patagonia’s work is deeply rooted in purpose. With a mission to save our home planet, this partnership holds special significance for many of us. At Omek, we believe biculturals hold the unique ability to influence our global cultures and economies. Through this partnership, we hope to empower and enable these talented individuals to find work where they can amplify their impact.

Patagonia offers a wide range of job opportunities across retail, business operations, and leadership. Overall, their positions span both hands-on and strategic roles that support their mission.

The journey to building wealth is not linear. The path varies with life experience, knowledge of oneself, and where we want to go.

In episode 5 of The Bicultural Edge, Claude Fidelin, champion of the “Black Millionaire Mindset,” and Linda Nooitmeer, financial specialist and former Chair of NiNsee (Dutch National Institute for Slavery History and Legacy) unpack their own financial literacy journey. What foundations did they build it on, what shaped the direction they took, and what did they learn along the way.
