Originally from Nigeria, Sean was inspired by the Arab Spring and had planned to head to Egypt to see the revolution for himself. Instead he arrived in San Francisco and saw the Occupy Wall Street Movement take hold in the U.S. He decided to get involved and was on the street helping out and marching, participating in general assemblies. He set up a tent at Justin Herman and always had a philosophical view on the state of the world. Sean said that "he firmly believed in non violent change for the world".
