This photo captures a monumental moment in my life when I went to #Eritrea to visit, not only a few of my grandmother’s public works, but also this part of her past. Her story is remarkable. That being said, all of our stories are remarkable! Happy #InternationalWomensDay to us!
@RailaOdinga Not on X much anymore but when I saw this, I wanted to share what an incredible experience attending the inauguration was - especially seeing my grandmother’s restored contributions - African Fauna & Flora #familylegacies
@archpaper The building’s architectural, artistic and stylistic restoration was incredible! But Roche’s article got one detail wrong. The African Fauna’s artist was Nenne Sanguineti Poggi- same as African Flora. As her granddaughter it was an honor to represent her at the inauguration.
@ChrisMurphyCT Great except you’re not listening to us. I live in Greenwich and our utility bills are beyond ridiculous. This is just one example of needlessly paying too much.

Africa Hall, inaugurated in 1961, was the birthplace of the OAU (now the @_AfricanUnion) in 1963. Built & donated by Emperor Haile Selassie, it’s the 1st @UN venue in Africa. After major renovations, it reopens on 21 Oct 2024! 🎉 #AfricaHall#UNECA#Ethiopia
