I am so honored to be a recipient of the “25 Under 35” Award at my alma mater. Super grateful and humbled that I have made history this year as the youngest honoree yet. I’m thankful to be in a class with such powerful women. Sursum Corda!! 💜💛
We're thrilled to announce this year's "25 Under 35" Honorees! This award recognizes Saint Joseph Academy alumnae who live the mission of the Academy and embody the character of an SJA graduate in their personal and professional endeavors. Congratulations to this year's honorees!
🇨🇩When will the community of states stop turning a blind eye to the Congolese tragedy and accepting or tolerating systemic violations of international law and human rights?! It's time to act, to stop empty condemnations and to adopt political and economic sanctions against the criminal regime in Kigali 🇷🇼 !

Yesterday we officially opened our first ever Swahili Daycare Center in the CLE. Grateful for the support of @KrisHarsh@pkearns42 and everyone else who came out yesterday. Watoto Wazuri means “Beautiful Children” in Swahili in case you are wondering😁. Asanteni nyote kwa upendo!
Thirteen years ago today, my family established roots in this great nation, calling Greater Cleveland home. As proud Congolese Americans🇨🇩🇺🇸, we cherish and embody both cultures that define us.
Escalating conflict is driving record levels of gender-based violence, displacement and hunger in eastern DR Congo, threatening to push the country to the brink of catastrophe.
We must step up our support to the Congolese people. https://t.co/V1oD6KvPsv
In 2018, 13-year-old Jaequan Faulkner started a small business selling $2 hot dogs with $1 sodas and chips from a stand in front of his house in Minnesota.
But his small business was in jeopardy after someone reported him to the Minneapolis Health Department.
Impressed by the young man’s drive, health inspectors decided to teach the young entrepreneur about proper food handling to assist him in getting his hot dog stand up to code.
The teen’s stand passed inspection, and it was the inspectors themselves who paid the $87 fee for his “short-term food permit."
This is heartbreaking, with echoes of the backlash Muslims faced after 9/11. We need all our political leaders to make clear that there is no place for any hate or bigotry against Muslims living in America. We need to speak up loudly against Islamophobia. Our words have consequences.
This conflict for me has always been about morality.
Morally, you cannot justify the killing of Palestinian civilians, even if you say it’s fighting terrorism.
But morally, you also cannot justify the killing of Israeli civilians, even if you say you’re fighting occupation.

We all have a role in building safer communities where women and girls, men and boys can exist without fear of gender-based violence.
More than 4 out of 5 young women & girls who should be studying, are out of school in Afghanistan.
Women have told us that access to education remains their highest priority.

The @refugeeresponse, a local nonprofit, is planning to build an indoor “global farmers market” where community members can buy food from @ohiocityfarm, a six-acre urban farm where Refugee Response trains and employs newcomers to grow local produce.
