Wonderful to have @mirvajohns sharing her important work on Finnish as a heritage language in Oulu, Wisconsin today @info_migration! @FulbrightFIN

[Mirva Johnson @mirvajohns]

It is very cool to now be able to open presentations in Finland with “you know, Oulu, Wisconsin, like in J. Karjalainen’s new song.” Thanks @UWMadGNS!

[GNS+ @UWMadGNS]

Check out this article on J. Karjalainen's reference to the Oulu Cultural Center, where GNS+ graduate Mirva Johnson has dedicated a lot of her work!

Getting to witness @flowercityfiddle finally play the nyckelharpa she has been waiting years to pick up and Bo Nilsson’s joy to hear her play the instrument he built was the most beautiful thing✨🎼🎻 #folkmusic #nyckelharpa #fulbrightfinland

Growing up in Louisiana, Taalib Auguste spoke Creole French at home, but he never used it in public. Now, at 18, he hosts a show on @TeleLouisiane called @lacreoleshow, cultivating conversations in his francophone community.
