Director of Member Services & Office Manager

Souleymane Barry was born and raised in Guinea, where he gained over five years of experience in the construction industry, primarily supervising projects and managing on-site work.

He arrived in New York City in 2023 and connected with WMW while navigating his own transition. After receiving support, he chose to stay involved and began assisting other newly arrived migrants going through similar challenges. Drawing on his own experience, he quickly became a trusted and reliable presence within the community.

With his sharp eye for detail and deep commitment to mutual aid, Souleymane stepped up as office manager. Now he keeps daily operations running smoothly, coordinating resources and making sure members get the help they need.

He plans to continue building his career in construction and is working toward obtaining the certifications needed to advance in the field.
