✨ Last month, on September 28th, over 50 SLPA members from NYC Metro (NY, NJ, CT) came together for an unforgettable regional event! 🎉 Bringing together locals and transplants, we fostered community, shared experiences, and explored ways to strengthen our regional SLPA community! 🌆 Held at City College (CUNY) and NBHD Coffee Shop, this gathering was a continuation of the energy from our 2024 SLPA Conference in ATL. 🍽️💬 Here’s a recap of the program: 1️⃣ Dr. Ali Yusuf Dualeh, PhD, took us on a journey back to NYC in the ‘80s, sharing insights from his book on Somaliland’s history, with an engaging Q&A led by Sayidcali Ahmed from Cornell University 📚🌍 2️⃣ Amiin Muse from Northwestern University introduced the Takeoff Fund, a VC Firm offering investment opportunities back home! 🌱💼 3️⃣ We capped off the evening with a dinner and networking session at @nbhd_brulee, hosted by Farhiya Ali and Shukri Ali.🍴✨ Thank you to all the organizers and attendees for an unforgettable experience! Due to the overwhelming regional turnout, we couldn’t open it to all members across the country this time, but we’re excited to see where we’re headed next! 👀 ➡️ Drop your city below to let us know where we should host a regional event next! 🌎✈️ #SLPACommunity #NYCMetro #RegionalEvent #SomalilandExcellence #Somaliland
