[Katie Ferman @KatieFermanCLE]

Have been waiting for this discussion all week! @Tsihanouskaya sharing her views on standing against #authoritarianism, a particularly relevant topic right now. @WACAmerica @WorldAffairsOC #Ukriane #Belarus

[Katie Ferman @KatieFermanCLE]

Does anyone else here feel like adulthood is just being in a constant state of cleaning up the kitchen?

[Katie Ferman @KatieFermanCLE]

Happening now: "The Future of U.S. Sanctions Policy" with @wallyadeyemo and @SecJackLew. Important time to be talking #sanctions, given the hot-off-the-presses Treasury review. @CNASdc #CNAS2021

[Katie Ferman @KatieFermanCLE]

Fascinating talk by @StephDujarric at the @CleWorldAffairs Forum. Of course, I had to ask about #sanctions - he explained that the position of the UN is not to impose sanctions in situations where it would make the humanitarian situation markedly worse. #ForeignPolicyForum #CCWA

[Katie Ferman @KatieFermanCLE]

Overused phrases among people who moderate panels in their professional lives:

"I'm so excited to be here." [said with relative lack of excitement]

"Thank you for the interesting discussion." [intoned with boredom]

You won't be able to unhear them now. #stop #spreadawareness

"We lost in Afghanistan in large part because every time we weighed the war in Afghanistan against another competing foreign policy interest, Afghanistan lost." Great quote from @AdamNoahWho at the @CleWorldAffairs #ForeignPolicyForum

I love to see the strength of #citizendiplomacy connections! Niyati was a Professional Fellow who @CleWorldAffairs hosted back in 2018 and matched with @CuyahogaKids. It is such a joy to see the collaboration continue!

[Invest in Children @CuyahogaKids]

The need for a quality preschool experience is universal. Watch this video on how the Angandwadi Concept in India is giving kids a better early education and making the most of limited resources. Thanks Niyata! https://t.co/janL3wdZZC
